HEARTS will reportedly complete moves for Conor Sammon and Faycal Rherras next week in time for the Europa League deadline.
Both players have been strongly linked with a switch to Tynecastle and appear due to arrive before next weekend.
The Edinburgh Evening News believes that Sammon and Rherras have agreed three-year deals with the club and will be registered before the Europa League deadline of June 20.

Sammon has been released by Derby County and is currently on holiday, while Rherras is training with Morocco's Olympic squad.
The Jambos will enter the Europa League at the first qualifying round on June 30, but must confirm their squad list ten days before then.
Another Hearts target, Matt Gilks, is yet to decide whether he is keen on a move to Edinburgh and time is running out if the club are to register him in time.
Hearts manager Robbie Neilson told the Evening News: "We have a couple of other ones tied up in different areas so we're getting there.
"I didn't expect to have our full quote of signings in before June 20. We're looking to get three in, possibly. That then gives us a bit of time to see what else is out there."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
