A classy farewell message has been sent to Hearts after a transfer exit was sealed earlier this week.
It’s been a busy winter window of comings and goings at Tynecastle. While fans can’t wait to see what the likes of Michael Steinwender and Sander Kartum will get up to in maroon, there have also been some farewells to other stars. Liam Boyce made a move to Derry City earlier in the window, Kye Rowles has gone to the MLS at DC United and now Hellas Verona have signed Daniel Oyegoke.
The defender joined in the summer from Brentford after loans in the English Football League, having previously been a prospect at Arsenal. He was a regular in Gorgie but leaves after less than a season for a crack in Italy. Capable of playing centre-back or right-back, Oyegoke has now sent a fond farewell to Hearts and everyone involved at the club He said on social media: “Thank you Jambos for welcoming me with open arms from day 1!
“Thank you to the players and staff for your support, I’ve met some of the most amazing people. I Wish you all the best for the future.”
Dundee are the challenge for Hearts on Saturday in the Premiership and Oyegoke has turned advisor for one of the Dark Blues’ new recruits. Former England youth international Mari Samuels has swapped Brighton for Dundee and has spoken with former Three Lions teammate Oyegoke about what to expect in the Premiership.
He said: “Why Dundee? It was just about how quickly the manager wanted to move on it. That gave me full belief that I would come in here and he would trust me to do my job. He showed me clips of me from games he had watched. He just said he fully understood my abilities but I hadn't been given a full opportunity before.
"He just told me to come up here and show everyone what I could do. A couple of days before I came up, I had a chat with the gaffer and it just moved quite quickly from there.
"I spoke to Daniel who was at Hearts but has just moved. He was with me in the World Cup squad and he was really positive. I know I have the qualities and the ability to do it here. It is just about showing it now."
