Lewis Neilson admits he is delighted with comparisons to John Souttar as he dreams of starring south of the border.
The Rangers defender made the similar step from Dundee United to Hearts as the current Tynecastle teenager and he has since moved on again and landed international honours as part of Steve Clarke's Scotland set up. The 19-year-old impressed for Robbie Neilson's side in the 3-2 weekend win over St Johnstone and admits while it is great to be spoken about in the same breathe as role model Souttar, he wants to be his own player.
The youngster has huge ambitions for his career with the ultimate dream to earn a move to the English Premier League. That may be a long way off just now, but he admits everyone must be ambitious with his full focus on Hearts and bidding to make himself a mainstay in the top team.
