Milan, Sept 24, 2020 (AFP) - Bologna have signed teenager Aaron Hickey from relegated Scottish Premiership side Hearts, the Serie A club confirmed on Thursday.
The 18-year-old Glaswegian left-back becomes the Italians' first ever British signing.
"Bologna FC 1909 are pleased to announce that Aaron Hickey joins the Club on a permanent transfer from Heart of Midlothian F.C," they said in a statement.
