Hleb's brother gets Hearts trial

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb's younger brother Vyacheslav is to have a trial at Hearts.

The 23-year-old striker - who like his older sibling is a Belarus international - plays for MTZ Ripo Minsk, who are financed by Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov.

The former Grasshopper and Hamburg player's agent, Nikolai Spilevski, told the Scottish Sun: 'Vyacheslav will arrive at Hearts next week for training. The Belarussian season is over so he can do this.

'They will take two weeks to decide whether or not he will stay there - but there is a chance this could become a permanent deal.'
