Hearts had a busy summer in 2024 and this window currently shows much of the same traits.
Already, the Jambos have made multiple signings and have been linked with plenty more in the era of Jamestown Analytics. Head coach Derek McInnes is to be backed in the market to revamp a squad that finished in the bottom six of the Premiership last term, with designs on third place like they achieved in 2024.
That placement in the league under Steven Naismith was backed up with nine signings, a few of which are no longer at the club, while some have gone on to make telling impacts. Here’s our verdict on how the nine summer signings of last year got on ahead of another busy summer.
1. Yan Dhanda
Showed in Liam Fox's interim reign what he could after a frustrating time under Neil Critchley. Interesting to see what Derek McInnes has planned for him. | SNS Group

2. Blair Spittal
Did what was said on the tin. A reliable player at this level who contributed to 12 goals and was a more consistent performer. | SNS Group
3. James Penrice
The best of the bunch hands down. Took on the task of replacing Alex Cochrane with ease, no mean feat considering his trait for consistency. A man to be built around. | SNS Group
4. Daniel Oyegoke
Arrived in June from Brentford, played 26 times and was then sold to Serie A side Verona for a profit. Player trading model in full effect. | SNS Group
