The 21-year-old playmaker signed for the English champions from Gamba Osaka at the beginning of August.

Subject to international clearance, Meshino could be involved in Saturday's Premiership game against Hamilton Academical at Tynecastle.

"I'm hugely excited about this one" said Hearts boss Craig Levein earlier this month.
