Hearts to complete signing of Spanish winger Suso

HEARTS will complete the signing of Spanish right-winger Jesus Manuel Santana Abreu within the next 24 hours.

Better known as Suso, he's undergone a medical and will become the club's first new addition of the summer.

The 24 year-old was top scorer last season with nine goals for UD Fuerteventura, a team based in the Canary Islands who play in the third tier of Spanish football.

He came to Csaba Laszlo's attention last year after the Tynecastle manager watched him in action for his former club CD Tenerife.

The arrival of Suso will increase Laszlo's options on the right hand side of midfield – with Laryea Kingston, David Obua and Ruben Palazuelos also able to play there – although he can also play anywhere across midfield as well as in attack.

Meanwhile, Laszlo insists he is in no hurry to name a new captain ahead of the forthcoming season. Robbie Neilson inherited the armband from Christophe Berra but his decision to quit for Leicester means Laszlo is again seeking a skipper. "There will be somebody new who wears the armband next season, that is certain," Laszlo said.

"I have a couple of candidates in mind but there is no hurry to name a captain just now."
