The Tynecastle boss has seen four new players hook up with his squad here in Germany, and now he can see the end to an intensive recruitment process.

His main target is to procure a striker who can score regularly, something which frustrated the Hungarian last season.

Speaking to Hearts.TV in an exclusive interview to be broadcast in two parts over Friday and Saturday, Csaba said, "We would like to have a striker, definitely.

"We don't want to make a quick decision. We want to make the right decision. We don't want to have players who are in the bench and don't make competition for the team. We need strikers who can play.

"We got two central defence players, and we got two midfield players. At the moment we must look to get maybe one or two strikers.

"I think after that our planning for this season until January is finished."

Hearts players are training again this afternoon in Germany with much of today's work focusing in detail on the shape of the team - key foundations for the season ahead.
