Hearts sign midfielder Ageu for record fee

Heart of Midlothian have signed Brazilian midfielder Ageu for an undisclosed fee, which the Edinburgh club say is their record transfer deal.

The 23-year-old arrives from Santa Clara in Portugal and has agreed a four-year contract.

Hearts describe the new arrival as "a dynamic player who is fond of going box-to-box," adding that the former Cruzeiro player has "a knack for unpicking defences with key passes".

Ageu played in Santa Clara's second tier title-winning side in 2023-24.

He was loaned out to Alverca last season, also helping them win promotion to the Primeira Liga.
