Aberdeen have signed Finnish winger Topi Keskinen from HJK Helsinki on a four-year deal.

The 21-year-old arrives at Pittodrie for an undisclosed fee and is the sixth summer signing for manager Jimmy Thelin.

Aberdeen say Keskinen had "numerous options in central Europe and North America".

He played twice against the Dons last season in the Europa Conference League group stages, with both matches drawn.

"Topi is a really exciting young talent who we believe will add some real quality to our side," said Thelin, whose side host Queen's Park in the Scottish League Cup on Saturday.

"His arrival will strengthen our options in the forward areas and he has all the attributes to be a big success at this club. His pace, creativity and also the fight and determination he shows will make him a major asset for the team.

"We believe this will be the perfect environment for Topi to continue his development and help him achieve international recognition."
