Aberdeen have completed the signing of former Dundee loanee Tony Yogane, with the “really exciting prospect” joining for an undisclosed fee from Brentford.
The 20-year-old winger spent last season on loan at Dens Park, where he made 42 appearances, and Dons manager Stephen Robinson reckons he established himself as one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership.

Yogane began his football career in Sheffield Wednesday’s academy, then moved to Brentford and progressed through their B team, before a loan spell at Exeter City.
“Tony is a really exciting prospect”, Dons boss Stephen Robinson told club media.
“He is a player with huge potential, as he demonstrated during his time with Dundee last season, where he was one of the best players in the league.
“There were several clubs interested in Tony so it’s a real coup for us to get him committed on a long-term deal.
“Tony has a real drive to improve, he’s hungry to succeed and we believe this is the right environment to continue his development while helping push the Club forward.”

Yogane, who has made League Cup appearances for Brentford under Thomas Frank, said: “After the season ended, my agent told me Aberdeen were interested and things moved forward quickly. This is the next step up for me.
“Aberdeen is a big Club. I want to win things here. It is a big challenge after what happened last season, but we must go out and prove people wrong.
“When we played against Aberdeen last season, I just had a good feeling about the Club. Especially when you see the size of the support. I can’t wait to see the fans. Hopefully it is an enjoyable season.”
