Heart of Midlothian winger Alexandros Kyziridis has left the club with a heartfelt message to fans after his transfer to Turkish side Corum FK was confirmed. The 25-year-old Greek international, who joined Heart of Midlothian last summer as a free agent, scored six goals and provided 11 assists in 45 appearances during his time at Tynecastle.
Kyziridis took to Instagram to express his gratitude, saying, "I leave with a heart full of gratitude and memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life." He highlighted the victories, tough moments, and the special bond with the fans, adding that Edinburgh will always hold a special place in his heart-especially as the city where his son was born.
The winger was a key figure in Heart of Midlothian' near-historic league title challenge last season, contributing significantly with his pace and creativity. His 6 goals and 11 assists in 45 games made him one of the most influential players in the squad. This season, Heart of Midlothian are currently 4th in the Premiership with 3 points from 2 games, trailing leaders Celtic by 3 points.
With Kyziridis now departed, Heart of Midlothian will look to fill the creative void left by his exit. The team currently has a +3 goal difference, scoring 5 goals while conceding 2. However, they are missing key defenders Craig Halkett, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, and Stephen Kingsley, as well as forward Ageu, due to injuries. Manager Robbie Neilson will need to adjust his tactics to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
