Heart of Midlothian have confirmed the departure of winger Alexandros Kyziridis to Turkish Super Lig side Çorum FK for a reported £1.7m fee. The 25-year-old Greek international joined Heart of Midlothian as a free agent last summer and made 45 appearances, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists in his lone season at Tynecastle Park.
What happened in the transfer?
Kyziridis' move to Çorum FK represents a significant profit for Heart of Midlothian, who signed him on a free transfer from Slovakian club Zemplin Michalovce in 2025. The Greek winger's impressive performances, including six goals and 11 assists in 42 league appearances, attracted interest from several clubs before the Turkish side secured his signature on a 3+1 year contract.
Why it matters for Heart of Midlothian
The sale of Kyziridis follows a busy summer of departures for Heart of Midlothian, with manager Derek McInnes, striker Lawrence Shankland, and midfielder Cammy Devlin among those to leave the club. The £1.7m fee will provide a boost to the club's transfer budget as they look to rebuild ahead of the new Scottish Premiership season.
What comes next for Kyziridis?
Kyziridis will now look to establish himself in the Turkish Super Lig with Çorum FK, who were promoted from the second tier ahead of the 2026-27 season. The Greek winger's pace, dribbling ability, and creativity will be key assets for his new team as they aim to secure their place in the top flight.
