Aberdeen have announced St Johnstone winger Matty Kennedy has signed a pre-contract with the club.
The announcement was widely expected, with boss Derek McInnes expressing confidence in tying up a deal for the ex-Everton player earlier this week – despite interest from Hearts – and the 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal.
McInnes said: “I’m pleased Matty has shown a real desire to join Aberdeen when there were other options available to him.
“Respectfully he remains a St Johnstone player, but I look forward to him joining us in the summer and working with him next season.”
