The Melbourne Heart are close to announcing the signing of Maltese National Captain, Michael Mifsud. Heart Chief Executive, Scott Munn, told SBS that the terms have been agreed but nothing has been signed.
“Just to be clear. We have not agreed or signed anything.” Said Munn. The signing of Mifsud would be a huge boost for the young club which also announced the recruitment of Socceroo and former Liverpool player, Harry Kewell.
Michael Mifsud is revered in Malta, holding the goal-scoring record and is the current captain. He has played for Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern, the same club as Socceroo Mark Schwarzer, as well as for Coventry City in England.
Melbourne has a large Maltese population and Mifsud’s signing could be a masterstroke for the club, enticing a large supporter base to awaken.
Whilst 32 years of age his form has been impressive of late. In Malta’s World Cup qualifier against Italy back in April he was a constant threat in front of goal with only an in-form Buffon and the woodwork denying him a goal.
A combination with Kewell will have Heart supporters salivating and more than ready to challenge cross-town rivals, Melbourne Victory.
