Jordi Altena Joins Heart of Midlothian from RKC Waalwijk
RKC Waalwijk right-back Jordi Altena will join Scottish Premiership leaders Heart of Midlothian on January 1 for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old former Vitesse Arnhem player has made over 50 senior appearances and has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2028-29 season.
This transfer is subject to approval from the Scottish FA and international clearance, but Altena could make his debut in Hearts' upcoming match at home against Livingston on Saturday.
Currently, Derek McInnes' side leads the Premiership by three points, while second-placed Celtic will play their game in hand away to Motherwell on Tuesday evening.
"It's good that we're able to get our business started so early," McInnes stated on the club's website. "We have a strong squad with options all over the pitch, but I have previously mentioned the need to strengthen in certain areas, and I believe we have addressed that by bringing Jordi in.
"He possesses the qualities we believe will make him successful here at Hearts, and we hope his style of play will excite our fans."
