Bilalovic chooses Aberdeen over ‘options across continent’

Bilalovic chooses Aberdeen over ‘options across continent’.

Aberdeen has signed Swedish youth international Kenan Bilalovic, with manager Jimmy Thelin stating that the Dons beat off competition from across Europe.

Bilalovic, 20, has signed a five-year contract after joining from IFK Varnamo for an undisclosed fee. He has two goals in 40 appearances for Varnamo and is Aberdeen’s eighth summer signing. “We’re delighted that Kenan has chosen Aberdeen as the next step in his promising career,” Dons manager Jimmy Thelin said.

“Although he had a couple of other options across the continent, when we spoke to him about Aberdeen, he was excited about what we are striving to achieve here.” Thelin believes Bilalovic is a long-term signing and expects more arrivals before the transfer window closes.

“We will work hard with Kenan to develop him for the future, and while he will need time to adjust to a new environment, we are optimistic about his potential. “His arrival is another example of the recent expansion of our scouting network.

Our ability to be the preferred club in these markets is being solidified, and positive changes and investment are beginning to yield tangible results.

“We know we still have work to do between now and the end of the window to add strikers to our squad and maybe in one or two other areas as well.”
