Andres Salazar, hailing from Colombia, is currently a defender for Hearts, a side that commands respect in the Scottish Premiership. Born on the 15th of January 2003, the 21 year old primarily operates as a left back. His imposing frame of 5 feet 11 inches (1.82m) and solid weight of around 11 stone 11 pounds (75kg) make him a formidable presence on the pitch. He is easily distinguishable by his number 80 jersey.
His talent is commercially recognised, with his current market value sitting around £639k, as noted by Transfermarkt. Time may, however, be pressing for Hearts as his contract, which has a mere 8 months left, is set to run out on 30 June 2025.
In terms of footballing history, Salazar started making his mark in January 2021, when he joined Atlético Nacional, a team playing in Colombia's Primera A league. His adept performances caught the attention of Hearts, leading to his move to Scottish soil in August 2024. Though it's worth noting, it was not a permanent move, rather a temporary expedition as Salazar joined Hearts on loan from Atlético Nacional.
