I have reworded the article and removed the Hearts players category. The contract he has signed is with FBK Kaunas/Romanov. While it may be the plan for Mendy to move to Hearts, there is no guarantee that this will happen, as the recent example of Gogita Gogua highlights.

Gogua didn't sign because he was refused a work permit. As Senegal is not a member of the EU, Mendy would also need to meet work permit criteria, unless he holds joint-citizenship with an EU country (most likely France through colonial history, or Lithuania through residency). Given the article doesn't state this, claiming Mendy will definitely sign falls foul of WP:Crystal imo. Caledonian Place 07:03, 9 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Further to the above, I found an online reference to a Pascal Mendy holding a French passport. However, this Mendy played for Vittoria in Italian Serie C in 2006 and before that with Bellinzona in Switzerland. A different reference to Pascal Mendy shows he played with Dinamo Moscow during 2006. I assume this means there are TWO separate Senegalese footballers named Pascal Mendy.
