Hearts FC has officially announced the acquisition of Pierre Landry Kabore, a versatile striker from JK Narva Trans. The Burkina Faso international has been in Scotland since last month, awaiting the completion of his three-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club.

Kabore arrives at Tynecastle in exceptional form, having scored 22 goals in 20 games, making him the current leading goalscorer in the Estonian top flight. His impressive stats over the past two seasons highlight his potential to significantly bolster Hearts' attacking options.

Head coach Derek McInnes expressed his satisfaction with the signing, stating, "It's obviously taken a bit longer than we'd have liked to get Landry in, but he's here now, and I'm pleased to get it done. His stats over the past couple of seasons speak for themselves, so we're hoping he'll bring something a bit different to what we've currently got in our forward areas."

Kabore's versatility is a key asset, as he can play across the front line. "He's a big, mobile guy and very adaptable in that he can play across the front, so that versatility is a big plus," McInnes added.

Kabore began his career in his homeland before moving to SOL FC of the Ivory Coast. In 2024, he transferred to Estonia, where he scored 33 times and provided 10 assists. His move to Hearts marks a new chapter in his career, bringing his dynamic play to the Scottish Premiership.
