Hearts today completed the formal
signing of Osman Sow after the Swedish striker had appeared as a trialist in
some of Hearts pre-seasons friendlies. The 6ft 4” former Crystal Palace player
scored in Hearts 2-1 defeat from English champions Manchester City on Friday
night and has impressed Head Coach Robbie Neilson.
Neilson told the club’s official
website he was delighted to have secured Sow’s services.
‘He’s a tall, athletic player who
will provide a presence to our forward line. He was highly-rated at Crystal
Palace so it’s a real coup to get him’ said Neilson who is rapidly constructing
a new-look Hearts team. Sow also scored against East Fife in another friendly.
Hearts have already signed Turkish
Under 21 defender Alim Ozturk, former Hamilton Accies striker James Keatings, former
Scotland goalkeeper Neil Alexander, ex Rangers goalkeeper Scott Gallacher, striker
Soufian El Hassnaoui and former Dundee United midfielders Morgaro Gomis and
Prince Buaben as they prepare to joust with Rangers and Hibernian for promotion
back to the top flight of Scottish football.
