Robbie Neilson salutes Hearts transfer speed as Gervane Kastaneer arrives from Coventry

Gervane Kastaneer has signed for Hearts on loan from Coventry City until the end of the season.

The move to Tynecastle, subject to international clearance, will see the powerful winger add pace to the Jambo's attack after Josh Ginnelly's loan spell was ruined by a hamstring injury.

The Curacao international, who was born in the Netherlands has played in the Dutch top flight and in Germany with Kaiserslautern.

He has been training with his new teammates today and boss Robbie Neilson was delighted with the capture.

He said: “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to get Gervane signed up so quickly.

“He’s got a great pedigree, having played top flight football in Holland and in the English Championship and also at a big German club in Kaiserslautern.

“There’s strength in his play, he’s physically imposing but is pacey and very direct.

“The injury to Josh Ginnelly was a blow but with Gervane here we’re now equipped once again on the wings and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do as we push towards the title.”
