SNS GroupHearts have signed Albanian winger Sabah Kerjota from Italian side Sambenedettese.
The 23-year-old has moved to Tynecastle on a three-year deal, subject to international clearance and Scottish FA approval.
He joins Derek McInnes’ squad from Italy’s third tier after scoring ten goals to help Sambenedettese to the Serie D title last season.
The Hearts head coach says he is pleased to add Kerjota to his side ahead of the new season.
McInnes said: “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to bring Sabah in to give us more options on the wings.
“He’s had a really productive few seasons in Italy and although Scottish football will be a new experience for him, we’ve seen attributes that we feel can make him a success here.
“Sabah will need to do a bit of fitness work to bring him up to speed, but I’m looking forward to seeing him on the pitch once he’s ready.”
