Hearts vs Leeds United LIVE score and goal updates from friendly clash at Tynecastle

After a low key start, the summer has picked up for Hearts as new faces started to arrive.

Veteran goalkeeper Michael McGovern was eventually the first signing made by the Jambos and he was then followed by defender Frankie Kent and Australian midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof as the 2023/24 squad began to take shape ahead of a Europa Conference League third round qualifier next month.

Japanese striker Kyosuke Tagwa and Costa Rican forward Kenny Vargas are expected to be number five and six through the Tynecastle door, although red tape has to be cleared before they can jet into the Scottish capital and complete the deals.

But it's likely only Kent Nieuwenhof will be involved against Leeds United in Gorgie.

So today is the first chance many punters will get to see the new boys in action ahead next Saturday's Premiership opener away to St Johnstone.

So it will be a more fleeting spell in Scotland for the German, who has been tasked with returning Leeds to
