Hide AdSpeculation over a surprise move for Martin Boyle intensified when the former Hibs winger was spotted at Pittodrie on Sunday, watching Aberdeen defeat Raith Rovers 3-0 to conclude their Premier Sports Cup group stage.
Goodwin explained the Australian international is a non-starter and there is “nothing at all” in it.
“As far as I’m aware Martin’s family are Aberdeen based,” he said.
“And we don’t have the money that the Saudis have, so we will not be able to match his terms I’m afraid.
“We will hopefully have a bit of news on Monday on an attacking midfielder.
“When Connor Barron is out of the team, I think we look really short in there for creativity from the midfield area.
“I would like one more attacking midfield player who is comfortable on the ball and one more attacking player."
Meanwhile, Hearts and Hibs are interested in Newcastle United starlet Elliot Anderson, according to the Evening News, but they will face stiff competition to land the 19-year-old on loan.
