Heart of Midlothian is delighted to announce that Brazilian midfielder Ageu will join the Jambos in what will be a club record transfer deal.
23-year-old Ageu will make the move to Hearts from Portuguese top flight side Santa Clara, subject to visa approval, Scottish FA approval and international clearance, on a four-year contract for an undisclosed amount.
An exciting, creative midfielder with a knack for unpicking defences with key passes, Ageu cut his teeth in his homeland with Brazlian giants Cruzeiro before moving to Santa Clara in 2023.
He played his part in Santa Clara’s title triumph in 23/24, winning the second tier and securing promotion to the top league.
Last season, Ageu went on loan to Liga Portugal 2 side Alverca, where he earned rave reviews. His 11 goal contributions from the middle of the park saw Alverca finish second in the league, missing out on the title by one point but gaining promotion to the top flight.
A dynamic player who is fond of going box to box, Ageu will now swap the Azores for Gorgie as he becomes the latest addition to Head Coach’s new-look Hearts squad.
