Heart of Midlothian have completed the signing of French forward Amadou Ba-Sy from Rouen on a three-year deal, with the fee understood to be in the six-figure range. The 25-year-old was first targeted by the Tynecastle club during the January window, but Rouen resisted interest at the time as they chased promotion from France’s third tier. After narrowly missing out, Heart of Midlothian, backed by Jamestown Analytics, returned for the player at the end of the season and have now finalised the move. Ba-Sy brings a physical presence and attacking flexibility, capable of operating through the middle or from the left. He registered a combined 10 goals and assists across 19 starts last season, underlining his attacking output despite not being a regular starter throughout the campaign. Ba-Sy began his career at Nice before moving on to Ajaccio following his release. He has since had spells with Dunkerque in France, as well as in Portugal with Vizela and Coimbra, before returning to France to join Rouen last year. The deal remains subject to visa approval, Scottish FA sign-off and international clearance. Ba-Sy becomes Heart of Midlothian’ fourth addition of the summer transfer window, following deals for Josh McPake, MJ Kamson-Kamara and Calvin Miller, as the club continues to reshape its squad ahead of the new season. And with his signing, Heart of Midlothian manager will be looking to utilise Ba-Sy's versatility to strengthen the team's attack. So, the new season is shaping up to be an exciting one for Heart of Midlothian's fans. The club's efforts to bolster their squad have been relentless, and the capture of Ba-Sy is a significant coup. But the hard work is far from over, as the team prepares to face the challenges of the new season.
