Aberdeen have confirmed the signing of Albanian international midfielder Ylber Ramadani.
The 26 year-old becomes Jim Goodwin’s first signing at Pittodrie and moved to the Dons from MTK Budapest for an undisclosed fee.
Defensive midfielder Ramadani has signed a three year deal and has completed his move after being granted a visa.
Dons boss Jim Goodwin is delighted to have Ramadani on board.
He said: “Ylber is an energetic, hardworking player with great versatility.
“He has the game intelligence to be able to play a couple of positions in the midfield area, either as a holding midfielder or as a more advanced box-to-box midfielder.
“He is a real team player who leads by example, and I’ve no doubt he will be a big favourite with the fans due to the desire and commitment he gives in every game.”
It’s official!
