Elliot Anderson is reportedly a transfer target for Hearts this summer - and any potential move would come after praise from Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.
The Toon talent and Scotland U21s international is highly-rated by the English Premier League side. He was instrumental for Bristol Rovers as they were promoted to League One last season, scoring eight times with five assists from midfield. Football Scotland reports Hearts want him to bolster their ranks ahead of a season that will include European group stage football alongside Premiership action.
Anderson featured in a 3-0 Newcastle friendly win over 1860 Munich and Howe was left impressed by the supposed Jambos target. He told the Chronicle : "I think that's probably been the biggest development. He looks like he has the ability now to go box to box, to compete not just in possession, but out of possession with duels. I thought he pressed well during the first half.
