Dundee and Mexican side Monterrey have announced a strategic partnership that will "benefit both clubs in player development".

The Dens Park club also say the deal will "open a pathway to European football" for youngsters from the Monterrey academy.

Earlier this year, Dundee entered into a similar partnership with English Championship side Burnley.

"We look forward to this agreement providing great benefits to both clubs over the coming years," chairman Tim Keyes said.

Nicolas Martellotto, director of the Monterrey academy, says the partnership "represents a great opportunity for players to migrate to Europe and continue their development outside of Mexico".

Meanwhile, Dundee managing director John Nelms added: "[Monterrey] have a fantastic youth set-up with over 15,000 individuals in their youth academies, spanning across multiple countries."
