Hearts confirm summer signing number seven as winger's services secured

Heart of Midlothian have confirmed their seventh summer signing with winger Sabah Kerjota in the door.

The Albanian, 23, has signed from Italian side US Sambenedettese, who he just helped win promotion to Serie C with 10 goals and 13 assists last season.

He has penned a three-year deal with Hearts paying an undisclosed fee to secure his services.

Kerjota has been in Edinburgh for some time as the Tynecastle club tried to put the finishing touches on the deal and has now finally been announced. They hope to shortly do the same with Burkinabe forward Pierre Landry Kabore from Estonian side Trans Narva.

Upon confirming Kerjota, manager Derek McInnes told his club's website: “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.”
