"Hearts" - the new E. Jankausko club? © EuroFootball.com

According to reports in the press, in the next season, Vladimiro Romanovo will represent the Edinburgh club. The Lithuanian is expected to sign a two-year contract with the Scottish team, rejecting offers from "Vitoria" Setubal, "Braga", and "Guimaraes".

Scotland will become the 7th country where Edgaras Jankauskas will play. The 30-year-old forward has accumulated a lot of experience playing at the highest level of European football throughout his career. English league clubs such as "Middlesbrough", "Everton", "Tottenham", and "Portsmouth" have shown interest in him, but now it seems that the Lithuanian is moving to "Hearts".

Edgaras Jankauskas' career began in 1992 with Vilnius' "Zalgiris" team, later playing in clubs in the Russian capital - "CSKA" and "Torpedo". From Russia, Edgaras moved to "Brugge", and after a couple of years in Belgium, the forward ended up with the Spanish team "Sociedad".

In 2001, E. Jankauskas went to Portugal and played for "Benfica", but after a successful season at the "da Luz" stadium, the Lithuanian was attracted by the eternal rivals of Lisbon's team - "Porto".

"Hearts" coach George Burley wants to also attract Frenchman Julien Brellier and Belarusian star Aleksandr Khatskevich to "Tynecastle", who are currently under the team's review.
