Hearts transfer latest: Club make ‘perfect’ move to ignite third place charge and ex Jambos unite at SPFL club.
Here are some of the most recent transfer headlines, with a dash of Hearts intrigue. Hearts are looking for new signings after a busy summer at Tynecastle.
Head coach Derek McInnes is targeting Tomas Bent Magnusson and Pierre Kabore ahead of Monday’s game against Aberdeen. There could also be departures in the coming month as their Premiership campaign gets underway with a Tynecastle showdown. Claudio Braga and other recent signings have made an immediate impact, and fans will be hoping for more of the same. Former players are also on the move, and other Hearts-related news is breaking.
Here are some of the latest headlines, from a club hero’s new role after leaving Sheffield Wednesday to third place backing.
Hearts ‘set pace’ for third
Andy McLaren of Dundee United believes Hearts are setting the third-fastest tempo, thanks to McInnes. He knows the Jambos’ head coach well after spending time with him at Tannadice, and he believes the managerial appointment will lead the Gorgie team to success.
He said in the Sunday Post: “Will Hearts, Hibs Aberdeen, and Dundee United compete for third place? Will it be close or just one pull away? Perhaps one of them will push Celtic and Rangers close.
“I have a feeling Hearts will set the pace for third place.” Derek has a wealth of experience and understands the Scottish game inside out. He is the ideal candidate for Hearts.
From the outside, it appeared that they had overcomplicated certain things when they didn’t need to.
“In terms of the managerial appointment, Derek is the right man to propel them forward and make them feared once more. Tynecastle hasn’t been a venue that has made visiting teams nervous in recent years. That will change. Wait and see. “The stadium will rock again, and it is one of the most intimidating arenas in the UK.”
Former Jambos unite at Stenhousemuir
A Hearts connection has been established at Stenhousemuir. Gary Naysmith, the 1998 Scottish Cup winner, has signed a new contract with the club he led from League Two to the third tier, which will last until the end of the 27/28 season.
He has now signed Dale Carrick, a former Hearts striker who previously played for Stirling Albion. Carrick previously played 54 games for Hearts, scoring eight goals and adding seven assists.
Martin Christie, Head of Football Operations, added, “I’m delighted to welcome Dale to the club.” He is someone we’ve talked about several times over the years, but the timing was never quite right to close the deal.
This time, however, everything came together, and I’d like to thank Andy Kennedy of Stirling Albion for his assistance in finalising the deal between the two clubs.
Dale is a proven commodity in the Scottish leagues, and with the squad’s average age being so young, we felt he would be an excellent addition for both experience and playing ability.”Callum Paterson to turn striker after Sheffield Wednesday exit
Callum Paterson, a Hearts hero, has joined MK Dons after leaving Sheffield Wednesday due to off-field issues. He can play a variety of positions, but manager Paul Warne says the utility man will be used as an out-and-out number 9.
He told MK Citizen: “In his first training session, he almost scored with a diving header.” I haven’t seen a diving header in about ten years, but I love them! He’s integrated into the group and trained exceptionally well.
I see him on the front lines, and I want him to be my target because I believe the team is lacking in that area. I like him as a nine, but I prefer a player who can play multiple positions. We enjoy crosses in our game, so you need someone who can catch them. But Rush, Aaron, Mendez, Scotty, and Callum can all play as nines, so we have options, all of which are unique.
You want to give the opposition a different problem along the front nine. I like Callum as a nine, he constantly runs, he can score and he can head it, he’s so game.”
