The 28-year-old spent last season on loan at Aberdeen and scored 14 goals in 38 outings for the club, helping them to win the Scottish Cup. The Daily Record report that a six-figure fee has been agreed between the two clubs.

Nisbet has featured for Millwall this season with Alex Neil handing the forward cameos from the bench against Sheffield United and Wrexham in the Championship. Nisbet started the 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Coventry City.

Millwall agree deal to sell striker to Aberdeen

The striker is in the final year of his contract at The Den and is said to have been keen to return to Scotland. Aberdeen are yet to pick up a point or score a goal in the league this season, making a move for Nisbet all the more important.

Millwall are believed to have rejected multiple bids from the Scottish side before finally agreeing a deal. Nisbet is set to sign a three year contract at Pittodrie.

Adam Mayor joins Cambridge United on loan

Meanwhile, Adam Mayor has also made an exit from Millwall on Deadline Day, but only on a temporary loan move to Cambridge United. The 20-year-old will continue his progress under former Lions boss Neil Harris in League Two.

The midfielder, who signed for Millwall in January 2024, has made just six senior appearances for the club. He played 45 minutes in the cup win over Coventry City. Speaking about the loan, Mayor said: "This is a great opportunity for me to get minutes, show what I can do and help the team. I spoke to the manager, and he made it clear how much he wanted me here, which means a lot."

Harris added: "His ball-carrying ability and direct style of play will add a quality that complements the attributes we already have in the team. We will help him develop as a player, while he will help us succeed as a team."
