Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has admitted he doesn't expect the club to re-sign Ellis Simms from Everton this summer.
The striker spent the second half of the campaign in Scotland and enjoyed a strong spell with the Edinburgh-based club. He scored seven goals in 21 appearances across all competitions including helping his temporary side to the final of the Scottish Cup, which they lost to Rangers.
A second successful loan in as many seasons for Simms has sparked a lot of transfer rumours early in the current window. A number of sides have been linked with a potential swoop, on loan or permanently, with Hearts being one of those.
