Dundee United have confirmed the signing of Estonian international striker Henri Anier.
The 24-year-old has agreed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Tangerines, joining from German outfit Erzgebirge Aue.
Manager Jackie McNamara said: “I moved quickly when I heard that Henri was available and wanting to come and play for Dundee United. He is an excellent striker at a good age who I am sure will excite our fans. He had better offers financially but likes what this club is doing currently.
“He is a strong player who can score with either foot and will be an excellent addition to our team. He is a different striker from what we have here currently and I see him as the type of player to be able to go in behind defences and grab penalty box goals.”
The former Motherwell man added: “I am delighted to be a Dundee United player. I enjoyed my previous spell in Scottish football with Motherwell and I remember the United fans as passionate and colourful. I have watched the way United play it’s attractive, exciting and many chances are created.
“Although I had other teams interested, once I had spoken to Jackie McNamara about his plans for United, it became the obvious choice. I cannot wait to wear the tangerine jersey and score goals at this club.”
