Nigeria defender Juwon Oshaniwa is said to be close to completing his proposed move to Hearts.
The 24-year-old will join the Scottish outfit on Friday now that work permit and visa delays have been resolved, according to Sky Sports News.
Oshaniwa, who played for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup finals, spent last season with Israeli club FC Ashdod.
Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday were linked with the full-back before Hearts opened talks with him.
