Hearts have confirmed the signing of “versatile” Pierre Landry Kabore after a prolonged hold up over his transfer from JK Narva Trans.
The Burkina Faso striker has been in Scotland since last month waiting on paper work being completed on his three-year deal at Tynecastle.
Kabore comes to Hearts in a hot streak of form as the Estonian top flight’s current leading goalscorer with 22 strikes in 20 games.
“It’s obviously taken a bit longer than we’d have liked to get Landry in but he’s here now and I’m pleased to get it done,” said head coach Derek McInnes.
“His stats over the past couple of seasons speak for themselves so we’re hoping he’ll bring something a bit different to what we’ve currently got in our forward areas.
“He’s a big, mobile guy and very adaptable in that he can play across the front, so that versatility is a big plus.”
Kabore, who arrives in Scotland for an undisclosed fee, started his career in his homeland before a switch to SOL FC of the Ivory Coast.
In 2024 he then made the move to Estonia, scoring 33 times and claiming 10 assists.
