He said: “We are delighted to have signed Alexander, someone I have been tracking personally for nearly four years. He has scored goals for every team he has played with, and the variety of goals he scores, off both feet as well as set plays, has really caught the eye.
“Alexander also brings an energy, hard work and tenacity to our midfield group, as well as a youthful vibrance and an elite mentality. There were a number of clubs interested in Alexander as he is a really promising young talent and I am happy that we will be able to play our part in this stage of his development.”
Meanwhile, Ross County have confirmed the club has gone into a temporary shutdown due to a Covid-19 outbreak.
