Aberdeen buy versatile Belgian forward Ntelo

Aberdeen have bolstered their attacking options by signing versatile Belgian forward Mitchy Ntelo from Swiss side Yverdon-Sport. Manager Stephen Robinson highlighted Ntelo's adaptability as a major drawcard, pointing out that the 25-year-old can operate either centrally or in wide areas. Ntelo, who has amassed 150 club appearances and scored 30 goals, is set to embark on a two-year deal with Aberdeen, including a potential one-year extension.

The club's capture of Ntelo follows his recent stint on loan at Bulgarian club Botev Vratsa, where he netted six goals in six appearances last season. Aberdeen's Robinson expressed his delight at securing Ntelo, noting that the Belgian's height, speed, and flexibility in both central and wide attacking roles could provide a significant boost to the team.

Ntelo himself expressed excitement about joining Aberdeen, crediting the club's passionate fanbase and storied history for his decision to sign with the team.
