Aberdeen was 'an easy decision' for new midfielder Kjartansson

New midfielder Kjartan Mar Kjartansson says the scenes following Aberdeen's Scottish Cup win played a part in making the move to Pittodrie.

The 18-year-old Iceland youth international, who has signed a four-year contract, has already played 58 games for Stjarnan's first team, having made his debut aged 16, and believes it's "a good move" for this stage of his career.

"It's an amazing feeling to sign for such a big club and I just can't wait to get started," he told club media.

"I got a warm welcome from the guys, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

"Aberdeen is a big club in Iceland, we know the history with the European cups, so it was an easy decision to come here.

"It's a good move for this stage in my career and I think the Scottish game will suit my style of play.

"I've heard the fans are very passionate. I saw the footage of them after the Scottish Cup win, so I am excited to play in front of them.

"It gives me the drive to reach that goal and achieve big things with the club."
