Heart of Midlothian have completed their fourth summer signing with the arrival of French forward Amadou Ba-Sy from Rouen on a three-year deal. The 25-year-old joins for a six-figure fee, subject to visa approval and international clearance, as Heart of Midlothian continue reshaping their squad ahead of the new season. League standing: 11th in Premiership, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 games, recent form L.
Who is Amadou Ba-Sy?
Standing at 6ft 2in, Ba-Sy brings a physical presence and attacking versatility to Heart of Midlothian. Capable of playing through the middle or on the left, he scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists across 19 starts last season for Rouen in France’s third tier. His career began at Nice before spells with Ajaccio, Dunkerque, Vizela, Coimbra, and Rouen.
Why did Heart of Midlothian sign him?
Ba-Sy was first targeted by Heart of Midlothian in January but Rouen resisted interest as they chased promotion. After narrowly missing out, Heart of Midlothian returned for the player at the end of the season. His arrival follows deals for Josh McPake, MJ Kamson-Kamara, and Calvin Miller, reinforcing Heart of Midlothian’ attacking options.
What does this mean for Heart of Midlothian’ squad?
With Ba-Sy joining, Heart of Midlothian now have added depth in attack. The club currently sits 11th in the Premiership with 0 points from 1 game, having conceded 2 goals and scored 1. Injuries to Ageu, Craig Halkett, and Stephen Kingsley mean Ba-Sy could see immediate playing time.
What comes next?
Ba-Sy’s move remains subject to visa approval, Scottish FA sign-off, and international clearance. Once completed, he will link up with his new teammates as Heart of Midlothian prepare for their next fixture.
