Hearts eye more early transfer business as Greek winger on radar after stellar goalscoring season
The wheels could already be in motion WATCHED Hearts eye more early transfer business as Greek winger on radar after stellar goalscoring season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SUMMER business is well and truly underway at Tynecastle, and it looks like something new could be in the pipelines. With the Premiership yet to come to a close, Hearts have already announced the departure of two solid servants in the form of Jorge Grant and ex-Rangers star Barrie McKay. 3 Greek winger Alexandros Kyziridis could end up at Hearts Credit: Alamy 3 He is pictured in action for Debrecen in 2022 Credit: Alamy 3 They've already secured Christian Borchgrevink of Valerenga Credit: Getty They also got their first signing done as early as last month when Valerenga's Christian Borchgrevink was secured by the now-departed manager Neil Critchley. And in that area it's understood Kilmarnock's Derek McInnes could come in as replacement in the dugout before the week is through. But the latest possible transfer business is for another player despite the lack of a manager at the moment. With Tony Bloom's Jamestown Analytics already in the door it's likely the statistics and the supercomputer identifying targets. The Edinburgh side are reportedly looking towards the Slovakian league for Greek winger Alexandros Kyziridis. He'd be able to add wide options and play across the front line, and has notched 13 goals and three assists this season which makes him Nike Liga's second-top scorer. But his contract with Michalovce is up at the end of the season meaning he could get scooped up on a free. The 24-year-old has played most of his senior football in Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary, but the left-winger came through the youth ranks in Greece. He started off at one of the country's top clubs in PAOK, who put the Gorgie side to the sword in the Conference League two years ago. In 2021-22 while playing with Slovak team FC ViOn Zlaté Moravce he landed himself a place in the under-21s Team of the Season. Derek McInnes opens up on Rangers years, Kilmarnock ambitions and Scotland dream in part 2 of exclusive interview In a similar system to the Scottish Premiership, Michalovce narrowly missed out on making the top half of the league split. But with the bottom placed team cut well adrift it looks unlikely Kyziridis will suffer a relegation this season, much like the club he's linked with. The Hearts Standard understands that he has already travelled to the capital for talks of a potential move. With the Gorgie side due to play against Killie this weekend, who knows which dugout McInnes might be in. But if and when he's in the door he may get the chance to have his say on the Greek attacker or any other potential players that the numbers help locate.
