Incoming Hearts star in awe of Jamestown transfer brilliance as he sets his sights on Premiership golden boot
Deals for Pierre Landry Kabore and Sabah Kertoja are agreed with the pair due in Edinburgh for their medicals this week Incoming Hearts signing Pierre Landry Kabore doesn't know how the club found him but sees no reason why he can't become Scotland's top scorer and fire himself to England. A deal is agreed for the Burkina Faso international, who is set to leave Estonian club JK Narva Trans while the Jambos will pay Italian fourth tier outfit a fee of £120,000 for Albanian winger Sabah Kerjota. Both are set to undergo medicals in Edinburgh this week and could feature in Saturday's Premier Sports Cup group stage opener against Dunfermline at Tynecastle, pending successful work permit hearings. Kabore can play out wide or up front and has bagged 12 goals in 15 league games for Trans. It's the type of signing the capital club's use of Jamestown Analytics has now made possible for Derek McInnes and even if the player himself isn't exactly sure how the Tynecastle club landed on him, he has big ambitions and is already looking beyond Gorgie. "I don't know how they found me,' he told the Estonian media in Estonia. 'I have to express a huge thank you to my agent. I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to make a step up from the Estonian Premier League. 'I will continue working there, hoping to go even further. Why not become the top scorer in the Scottish league and then move on from there? To England or France? I will take it step by step. I will miss Narva and Estonia. I started playing for Trans last season, but I feel like this team has become a family for me. I wish the club all the best. It's sad to leave here, but it's a step that has to be taken. My ambition remains the same everywhere — I want to score in every possible game.' Trans boss Roman Kozuhhovski admits there's no way he could deny Kabore his move to Scotland after plucking him from SOL FC d"abodo in the Ivory Coast and he reckons Hearts are getting a vastly improved player from even the one that played last season. 'If Kabore leaves, I can only be happy for him,' said Kožuhhovski. 'I'll tell you why. Yes, we're losing a quality player who has developed tremendously. If you compare Kabore from last season to this year, they're two completely different strikers. I don't want to hold anything back, we've worked a lot with our coaching team on him. Kabore deserves to progress in his career. 'This is also a sign to other players that it is possible to go abroad from this club. This is not only good for Trans, but for the entire Estonian Premier League. "I wished Kabore a happy birthday. I wrote that because of him I became 10 years older, because at times my nervous system couldn't handle it. He laughed about it. Of course, I'm glad that I managed to work with such a player.'
