Yutaro Oda has described himself as a 'very speedy and sharp player' as he revealed the extensive Hearts research that sealed his signature.
Robbie Neilson has landed the 21-year-old on a three-and-a-half year deal after securing his signature from Vissel Kobe. He could even feature under the lights at Tynecastle on Friday night against St Mirren in a big five days for the club with Aberdeen making the trip to the capital next midweek as the battle for third spot and Europe hots up.
Oda's arrival quickly followed James Hill, who has joined on loan from Bournemouth until the end of the season to help fill the void left by the season-ending injury to key defender Craig Halkett. Speaking about his move to the capital, Oda told the official club website: “I have been looking for a challenge, so this is a great club for me to come to. I am really looking forward to showing the fans what I can do.
