HEARTS have signed four new players but saw a move for Spartak Nalchik midfielder Gogita Gogua collapse after a work permit for the 23-year-old Georgia international was refused.

That disappointment was offset by the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Laryea Kingston from the club, Terek Grozny.

The club announced the deal for the 26-year-old last week, but the deal was only completed yesterday.

Linas Pilibaitis, Tomas Kancelskis and Arnus Lekevicius became the latest FBK Kaunas players to move to Tynecastle.
