The 25-year-old Slovenia Under-21 cap has signed a two-year contract with the option of a third having joined the Scottish Premiership club's pre-season training camp in Hungary. Besir told the Dens Park club's website: "Dundee is a massive club, with great fans and great ambition, so for me it was a very easy pick and I'm looking forward to it. "I know that the Scottish Premiership is a very tough league, so it's a big step for me in my career." Besir started his career with Koper in his homeland and first joined Primorje in 2023 after loan spells with Dekani, Gorica and Tabor Sezana. He moved to Nafta 1903 in January 2024 but returned to Primorje six months later and made 35 appearances last season, all but three of them starts, scoring five goals and providing three assists as they finished second bottom of Slovenia's top tier. Pressley added: "Zan is another exciting signing for the season ahead. "There were a number of others club interested in him. "We were able to get him out to Budapest to join us, which was a great way for him to integrate with both staff and players."
