Hearts have added further depth to their squad by signing Samuel Almeida Camazzola.

The 23-year-old has joined the current SPL table-toppers on a season-long loan deal from Juventude in his homeland.

Camazzola is the eighth new player brought to Tynecastle since George Burley took over as Hearts manager.

Burley has proven adept at bringing in foreign talent up to now and is hoping Camazzola can continue the trend.

"We have said all along that to qualify for Europe we need to add depth in certain areas of the squad and this is a signing which does that," Burley told the club's official website.

Hearts fans will be looking for Camazzola to have a similar impact to the other new arrivals, with Rudolf Skacel and Roman Bednar looking the most impressive.
