ABERDEEN have confirmed their first signing of the summer with Albanian international Ylber Ramadani joining the club on a three-year deal.
Ramadani was announced by the Dons following a successful Governing Body Endorsement hearing and he will now join his teammates following the successful completion of the visa process.
Arriving from Hungarian side MTK Budapest for an undisclosed fee, the 26-year-old was born in Germany and began his career with Kosovan club Ferizaj before moving to Prishtin.
He then played for Albanian clubs Drita and Partizani before a spell in the Danish Superliga with Vejle BK.
After making 10 appearances for the Albanian U21 side, Ramadani gained his first cap with the senior side when he started against Norway in 2018. His first goal for his country came against Moldova in 2019 and the midfielder’s most recent cap came on Monday night in the UEFA Nations League when his side drew 1-1 with Iceland.
Manager Jim Goodswin 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”.
