Alan Forrest would love Lawrence Shankland to team up with him again at Hearts. Robbie Neilson is understood to be interested in a reunion with the former Dundee United striker as he looks to increase his firepower ahead of the new campaign.
Shankland’ s current club Beerschot insist the Scotland international is not for sale so there’s a way to go before any potential deal gets done. If it does happen, then a previously productive partnership could be rekindled. Forrest and Shankland spent two years together at Ayr United in a killer combination that saw them score 74 goals between them.
The majority of those were Shankland’s, but Forrest provided eight assists. Both have developed since, making the step up to the Premiership with United and Livingston respectively, and Forrest is keen to team up with his old mate in the top flight.
