Hearts secure Portuguese striker Claudio Braga from Aalesunds, marking a significant addition to their squad for the upcoming Scottish Premiership season.

Claudio Braga has officially joined Heart of Midlothian, commonly known as Hearts, in a high-profile transfer from Aalesunds. The Scottish Premiership club has reportedly paid an undisclosed fee to secure the services of the 25-year-old Portuguese striker, who has signed a three-year contract with the team.

Braga, who has been the top scorer for Aalesunds over the past three seasons, brings a wealth of talent and experience to Hearts. His technical skills, versatility, and proven goal-scoring ability make him a valuable asset for the club.

Hearts' head coach, Derek McInnes, expressed his excitement about the signing, stating, "Claudio was one of our top targets, and to be able to bring him in is fantastic. There is great potential there but also exceptional ability. He is a technically gifted player, with a goalscoring pedigree, and can play across the front."

This strategic move is expected to bolster Hearts' attacking options and enhance their competitiveness in the Scottish Premiership. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Braga will adapt to the Scottish league and contribute to the team's success.
