Kris Boyd has confirmed that Dundee United have expressed an interest in signing him for next season.
The prolific striker is out of contract at Kilmarnock this summer and the 30-year-old is carefully weighing up his options, including a possible move to Tannadice.
However, he also revealed there are several other clubs chasing his signature, with United’s Premiership rivals Aberdeen being one of them.
Boyd, who netted 22 times last season, said: “There’s been interest from the two of them (the Tangerines and the Dons) but there’s been interest from numerous clubs.
“I’m going on holiday and I’m going to take my time over what I’m doing and make a decision from there. It’s a big decision for me.
“I’m coming to what I believe are the best years of my career and I want to give myself every chance to perform at a level where I know I can score goals but also get myself back in the Scotland set-up.”
“I want to give myself every opportunity to do that.”
Boyd, who was involved in a relegation scrap with Killie last season, added: “I said at the end of the campaign for me the big thing at Kilmarnock was to push on and sign players and hopefully get in the top six.
“As of right now that’s not been the case. I’ve had a brief conversation with Kilmarnock. I’ve not spoken or heard anything from Rangers.
“Teams have registered interest and I’ve spoken to a few teams. The most important thing is to be winning games, you don’t want to be getting beat every week.
“You want to be pushing for the top six and at least giving yourselves a chance in the cup competitions.
“Aberdeen and Dundee United get the ball up the pitch in dangerous areas where I think I can be effective. But it is not just Aberdeen and Dundee United that I’ve had offers from. Kilmarnock are still there as well.
“Wherever I end up if it is still at Kilmarnock or wherever I will turn up and do my work properly. I know if I give it my all I can be up the top of the goal-scoring charts in the Scottish Premiership.”
