Aaron Hickey completed his move from Hearts to Bologna earlier today.

The Serie A side announced the signing with what can only be described as a bizarre video which included Loch Ness, bagpipes, some amateurish video editing and a dinosaur figurine.

Hearts supporters have been wishing the teenager all the best on the new chapter of his career, proud of the decision to move abroad, albeit disappointed they didn't get to see more of the hugely talented academy graduate.

Such comments have been noted by Bologna, with the club's English Twitter account posting: “Been reading plenty of nice things from @JamTarts fans. Touch of class, you love to see it.”

@graha1874: "Obviously been in the pipeline for ages but now finally confirmed. Really hope he’s successful in his move. Has bags of potential and seems like a really good kid. Taking a step in to the relative unknown to further his experiences should be commended.”

@tartanjambo_x: “Finally! About time it was sorted & confirmed! Good luck to him over there. Wishing him all the best and hope his skills flourish over there. Will miss him @JamTarts. Will be checking out the Serie A from now on willing him on @BolognaFC1909en.”

@LewisLaird01: “Hickey deal finally done. An ambitious move for someone so young, going to try and test himself in Italy. Wish him all the best and hopefully can become a success.”

@McIverTheMark: “Taking a risk and not just doing what is expected of young, Scottish talent. Incredible to see. I wish him all the best and hope he absolutely smashes it, which I fully expect him to.”

@RFBorthwick: “Aaron Hickey is the best technical footballer I've seen come through at Hearts in years. Possibly ever. Playing in Serie A should bring his defensive game on leaps and bounds and I think he's got what it takes to go very far. Nothing fazes him. I will miss him.”

@ianhen66: “For a young kid to make his debut at 16 and become the youngest player to appear in a Scottish cup final says a lot about the lad. I wish him well in Italy and I'm sure the experience will see him in a Scotland jersey before too long.”

@maroonspecs: “Love this. If his career so far is anything to go by, this is a challenge he'll certainly rise to. All the best Aaron! Another young Scottish player who realises the world is bigger than Glasgow and England. Hopefully sets an example to others who are faced with similar choices in their own careers.”

@AaronFraser37: “Aaron Hickey is a ridiculously talented footballer for his age and will only continue to improve. A fantastic move for him and yet more evidence of the youth academy producing quality players. All the best to him in his future career.”

@JamboP88: “I can’t wait to see how he gets on, a touch of class about him and I fully believe he will go on to be a class, class footballer. Give him a start on Monday please.”
