Hearts sign winger Sabah Kerjota from Serie C side Sambenedettese
The 23-year-old has moved to Tynecastle on a three-year deal, subject to international clearance and Scottish FA approval.
He joins Derek McInnes' squad from Italy's third tier after scoring 10 goals to help Sambenedettese to the Serie D title last season.
The Hearts head coach says he is pleased to add Kerjota to his side ahead of the new season.
McInnes said: '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.'
