Kenneth Vargas signed in at Hearts and declared: “I will be super happy if I can prove myself to the manager and fans.”
The Costa Rica striker is here on loan from Herediano having completed his transfer from Central America and the 21-year-old told Hearts official website that this is a chance he has been craving.
Hearts’ interest excited the player and he acknowledged that the Gorgie club have made a big effort to get his signature.
That, said Vargas, had made him “feel loved” and that was a big reason why he wanted to come to Edinburgh.
He added: “I want to bring all my knowledge and everything I learned in Costa Rica and help the team as much as possible. I hope I can bring goals and assists for Hearts.”
Vargas has done his homework on Hearts and said: “It was important for me to understand the environment and history and I was really impressed that the club has been here since 1874. I’m so excited to see the stadium full of people and I’m looking forward to the welcome.”
For the record, Costa Rica has coastlines on the Caribbean and the Pacific and is famed for its beaches and volcanos and biodiversity as a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, teaming with wildlife.
