Elton Kabangu has his say on permanent Hearts transfer after Neil Critchley confession

Elton Kabangu has maintained that discussing a permanent Hearts’ stay is premature.

The winger became an immediate hero after joining the Jambos from Royal Union Saint-Gilloise last month. Kabangu’s double in the six-goal thumping of Dundee increased his popularity. After the game, Neil Critchley said that he hoped to sign the 26-year-old long-term, but the Belgian is not in a rush to make a decision. “As you said, it’s early,” Kagangu added. This is too early to discuss. I’m only concerned with doing good, doing well, and this is what I’m focusing on right now.

After the game, Critchley made a joke about Kabangu’s displeasure at being substituted while he was on a hat-trick. Yes, he is aware that I enjoy being significant, he replied. I enjoy scoring goals. I’ll save that for another time, but I came very close to getting a hat-trick. It is up to him to decide what is best for the team at that particular moment.

Hearts have gone from the bottom of the Premiership to the edge of the top six and are undefeated in seven games. Given their present performance, they appear headed for a return to Europe, but Kabangu is sure that much more work needs to be done because nothing has been accomplished.

“Yes, I believe we need to maintain our composure and work game by game and take game by game because we know football can change very quickly,” the 26-year-old acknowledged. We defeated Dundee tonight, and we’ll play game by game in the cup match the following week.

“We are not focused on looking; of course, we want to end up in a good place. We must keep going because we know what we can do.

“Neither do we have nor desire anything. We are doing this and fighting for more because that is all we want.
