Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has joined Aberdeen counterpart Jim Goodwin in confirming interest in signing Connor Ronan from Wolves.
The Irish midfielder worked with the latter on loan at St Mirren last season as he enjoyed a fantastic breakthrough Premiership campaign. Now the Jambos and Dons will compete to see if they can entice him over the border again, although he is still under contract at Molineux.
Goodwin said of Ronan recently: “I have been linked with pretty much every player I worked with at St Mirren from February until now, and I’m not going to deny the fact I have a lot of admiration for Connor Ronan as a player and as a person. Connor is a terrific player and has no end of admirers looking at him just now I would imagine. I’m not going to deny the fact that I would love to work with him again.”
