Hearts agree deal to sign Forest Green captain Mendy
Forest Green Rovers captain Laurent Mendy is set to become Hearts' 10th summer signing.
Hearts have agreed a deal to sign Forest Green Rovers captain Laurent Mendy, according to a BBC Sport report, with the defender expected to become the Edinburgh club’s 10th summer addition.
The move would mark another step in Hearts’ busy transfer window as they continue to reshape the squad ahead of the new season. Mendy, who has captained Forest Green, is set to add further depth and leadership to the Hearts ranks if the transfer is completed as reported.
The BBC Sport report, published through a monitored public feed, says the agreement is in place for Mendy to join Hearts. No further details were included in the feed summary provided, and the clubs have not been quoted in the material supplied for this article.
Hearts have already made several changes this summer, and Mendy’s arrival would take their total number of signings to 10. That level of activity suggests the club are moving aggressively to strengthen multiple areas of the squad as preparations continue.
For Forest Green, the prospective departure of their captain would represent a notable change in leadership. Mendy has been identified in the report as the club’s skipper, underlining his importance to the team before this latest development.
As with all transfer news, the move will only be fully confirmed once the clubs complete the necessary formalities. Based on the publicly monitored feed, though, the deal has been agreed and Mendy is poised to head to Hearts.
