Sergejus Fedotovas says Hearts are targetting more summer signings

Hearts are locked in talks with new signing targets, according to director Sergejus Fedotovas.

Kevin Kyle and Darren Barr have already joined the Tynecastle outfit, but manager Jim Jefferies has already identified other signing targets.

"We need to strengthen the midfield and we are in discussions with a couple of very good players," Fedotovas told the Hearts website.

"Hopefully those discussions will be finalised over the next few weeks."

Striker Kyle joined Hearts after failing to agree a new deal with Kilmarnock and has since spoken about the acrimonious nature of his departure following a disagreement with the Killie chairman Michael Johnston.

I accept there can be a lot of speculation that players can get more money elsewhere, but I believe here there is a good opportunity to progress your career Sergejus Fedotovas

Hearts announced in January that Barr would be making the switch to Tynecastle on a pre-contract agreement after six seasons with Falkirk.

"It shows we can attract players," said Fedotovas.

"I accept there can be a lot of speculation that players can get more money elsewhere, but I believe here there is a good opportunity to progress your career."

Kilmarnock midfielder Craig Bryson has been quoted in the Edinburgh Evening News saying he would like to join his former manager, Jefferies, at Tynecastle if the clubs can agree a transfer fee.
