Aron Benjaminsen has been involved with the Hearts youth team since he was signed last month. He will begin competing for playing time in competitive matches at Riccarton once the international break ends. The plan is to move Benjaminsen into the first-team squad to enhance his development and to determine if he can be included in matchday squads before the end of the year.

Hearts signed 18-year-old Faroese winger Aron Benjaminsen from Vikingur on a four-year contract on Wednesday.

Heart of Midlothian are interested in Aron Benjaminsen, an 18-year-old from the Faroe Islands. The winger, who is an under-21 international, has played for his club Vikingur, where his performances were flagged by Jamestown Analytics. Benjaminsen previously played for Kristiansund BK in Norway for a period before returning to his home country. Tynecastle Park officials are currently working on a deal to sign the teenager before the transfer window closes. If a deal for what would be the club's 12th summer signing is completed, he is expected to be integrated into the first-team squad. In the 2025/2026 Meistaradeildin season, Benjaminsen has contributed 7 goals and 7 assists in 19 appearances. His contract at Víkingur Gøta runs until the end of 2028 and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €150k.
