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.
What did Kyziridis say in his farewell?
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.
How did Kyziridis perform at Heart of Midlothian?
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.
What’s next for Heart of Midlothian?
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.
