Hearts captain Robin Gnagne is expected to join an unnamed foreign club before the start of the local season.
According to a report by the Ghana Sports Newspaper, the Ivorian is close to sealing a move to the unnamed club by the end of the month.
The towering centre-back has not been involved in the side's pre-season so far.
Gnange signed a one-year contract extension at the club but reports claim he may not see out the deal as he inches closer to a foreign move.
