Heart of Midlothian have signed Brazilian midfielder Ageu for an undisclosed fee, which the Edinburgh club say is their record transfer deal.
The 23-year-old arrives from Santa Clara in Portugal and has agreed a four-year contract.
Hearts describe the new arrival as "a dynamic player who is fond of going box-to-box," adding that the former Cruzeiro player has "a knack for unpicking defences with key passes".
Ageu played in Santa Clara's second tier title-winning side in 2023-24.
He was loaned out to Alverca last season, also helping them win promotion to the Primeira Liga, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
