'Plenty of interest' in out of contract Ben Reeves

The Northern Ireland international is out of contract at Stadium MK, and is deliberating his future after four years at the club.

Reeves, who scored 10 goals for Dons last season - second only to Kieran Agard - is free to talk to other clubs about his future, but has been offered a deal to remain in Milton Keynes.

“Reevesy has great quality, but there are a number of teams interested in him,” Neilson admitted. “We’ve offered him a really good contract but he’s within his rights to go and see what’s out there and we respect that.

“We hope we can get something done, but if we can’t, we move on to the next target.”

That work has already begun too. In March, Dons captured Aberdeen midfielder Peter Pawlett on a free transfer.
