"I'm an aggressive midfield player with good technical ability. I've heard all about Tynecastle."

Djoum aims to use the experience he gained of playing football in Belgium, Netherlands, Turkey and Poland.

"I won a title last year and I have played in several countries and adapted to different styles of football," he added. "I hope this experience can enable me to bring something to the team.

"I can't wait to see this place [Tynecastle] full of fans. I know that the fans here are some of the best in Scotland so I'm excited to experience it."
