Motherwell complete Henri Anier swoop

Motherwell sign Henri Anier from Viking Stavanger on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Motherwell have signed Estonian striker Henri Anier on a permanent deal from Viking Stavanger.

The 23-year-old has scored seven goals in the Scottish Premiership since arriving from Norway on a short-term deal in the summer.

"I am really happy things are tied up and my long-term future is sorted out," the former Sampdoria trainee told the club's official website.

"My aim now is to try and score as many goals as I can for Motherwell and hopefully finish as high up the table as possible.

"I loved playing in the Europa League last year, although it was a difficult game in Russia, and I would certainly like another shot at it again. To do that, the team is going to push as hard as we can and that's our aim."

Chief executive Leeann Dempster added: "I want to pay special tribute to two directors in particular who helped fund the Anier deal; it would not have been possible otherwise.

"This gesture shows that we have a special bond at our club, with great people who all pull together. That includes the staff, players, directors and fans."

Anier has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Fir Park.
