Hearts have wrapped up the capture of Argentine duo Damian Giminez and Fernando Screpis.
Midfielders Giminez, 25, and Screpis, 28, have signed one-year deals with the option of a further three years if the moves are successful.
The pair could be joined by Spanish defensive midfielder Ruben Palazuelos, who is a free agent after leaving Greek club Aris. Hearts are in talks with the 24-year-old, who has joined up with the squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria.
