Tony Yogane has joined the Dons from EPL side Brentford for an undisclosed fee, subject to registration formalities and international clearance.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old highly regarded winger has signed a long-term deal that will keep him at Pittodrie until 2030.<\/p>\n
Tony began his development at Sheffield Wednesday\u2019s academy before making a switch to Brentford in 2022 when he was 16. <\/p>\n
From there he progressed through Brentford\u2019s B team and was handed his first-team debut in September 2024 by Thomas Frank in a Carabao Cup win over Leyton Orient. He also appeared on the bench in several Premier League matches. <\/p>\n
Having had a loan spell at Exeter City, Tony then joined Dundee last season where he featured regularly for the Dens Park side, making 42 appearances. <\/p>\n
\u201cTony is a really exciting prospect\u201d, said Dons boss Stephen Robinson. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere were several clubs interested in Tony so it\u2019s a real coup for us to get him committed on a long-term deal. <\/p>\n
\u201cTony has a real drive to improve, he\u2019s hungry to succeed and we believe this is the right environment to continue his development while helping push the Club forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
With his power, pace and technical quality, the Londoner adds firepower and versatility to Aberdeen\u2019s attack ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n
Tony spoke to RedTV and revealed how the move to the North-east came about.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the season ended my agent told me Aberdeen were interested and things moved forward quickly. This is the next step up for me. <\/p>\n
\u201cAberdeen 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. <\/p>\n
\u201cI spoke the manager and he a very passionate guy. He is someone who drives you and gets the best out of you. After speaking to him I was convinced I wanted to come here. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe deal gives me long term security, but you want to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact. As a player you must keep improving and looking for more.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen 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\u2019t wait to see the fans. Hopefully it is an enjoyable season.\u201d <\/p>\n
