Aberdeen have completed the signing of Wes Burns from English Championship club Bristol City on a season-long loan.

The winger will go straight into the Dons squad for Thursday's Europa League match against FK Ventspils at Pittodrie, subject to international clearance.

Cardiff-born Burns, capped 18 times by Wales at U18 level, was included in Chris Coleman's pre-Euro 2016 training squad.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, who worked with the 21-year-old when in charge at Ashton Gate, told the club's website: "I am delighted to get him.
