Hearts have reacted to the new of Alexandros Kyziridis moving to Turkey.
Hearts have sent their best wishes to Alexandros Kyziridis after the Greek winger’s move to Turkey was confirmed.
The Edinburgh Evening News confirmed on Sunday prior to the 4-0 Premiership win over Dundee United that Tynecastle chiefs had agreed a £1.7m transfer deal with an unnamed Turkish side. It’s been confirmed that club is Super Lig newcomers Corum FK who were promoted from the second tier ahead of this season.
It’s a move that represents a seven figure profit for Hearts after Kyziridis arrived in Edinburgh as a free agent from the Slovakian club Zemplin Michalovce last summer. He signed a three-year contract and his dribbling runs, shots, goals and assists made him a popular player. He played 42 games for Hearts last season, scoring six goals and claiming 11 assists, with the club wishing him the best for his future in Turkey. Kyziridis is the latest high profile exit from the club this summer after the likes of previous manager Derek McInnes, Lawrence Shankland, Cammy Devlin alongside others.
