Obua arrives at Tynecastle
HEARTS manager Casba Laszlo will hold discussions with Uganda midfielder David Obua after the player arrived in Edinburgh yesterday.
Obua has recently been on trial at West Ham United but is keen to consider all options after leaving the South African club Kaiser Chiefs on freedom of contract.
It is not yet clear whether Obua, 24, would qualify for a UK work permit but he flew into Edinburgh to meet his former coach and tour Hearts' facilities at both Tynecastle and Riccarton.
"We have arrived in Scotland and we will meet the manager for some talks," said the player's agent, Janos Hrutka.
"There is not much more we can say at the moment. There may be more to say after the discussions with Mr Laszlo and the work permit is something we must talk about."
Players from outside the European Union are normally required to have played 75 per cent of competitive matches for their national side over the previous two years to be granted permission to sign.
