Dundee: Yan Dhanda joins on loan from Hearts after Simon Murray calls

“He was someone that was great to play with and he’s one of my favourite players that I’ve played with. But we are also really good friends off the pitch and, when he wanted to get me here, I trusted him because he spoke so highly of the place.”

Former Hearts captain Steven Pressley has had a frustrating start to his time as Dundee head coach, failing to qualify from their League Cup group and admitting a struggle to recruit this summer.

However, Dhanda said Murray “spoke highly of the place” and revealed: “Simon was onto me quite a lot, saying people at Dundee really like you and I was just wanting to play football and get consistent game time.

“Simon has been phoning me at least seven times a day and has been on my case for quite a while. Especially in the last couple of days, he’s been phoning me a lot, making sure I come here.

“When I heard so many good things and what the manager is trying to do, I was desperate to come here and to start playing.

“The manager phoned me and told me where I fit into his plans and the systems he is going to play. The chat went really well and from there it all happened quite quickly.

Dhanda’s debut will be delayed until Dundee’s match against Kilmarnock on 23 August as he is currently serving a two-match suspension.
