Heart sporting director Joe Savage says an injury to Beni Baningime is likely to prompt a hunt for a new midfielder - while a centre-back and attacker may also come onto their radar.
Manager Robbie Neilson guided the Tynecastle club to third in the Premiership last season on top of a Scottish Cup final, and it's guaranteed Europa League or Europa Conference League group stage football. They will find out what competition they participate in at the conclusion of their EL play-off match against either Linfield or FC Zurich later this month.
It means that a larger Hearts squad is needed and after signing Alan Forrest, Kye Rowles, Lewis Neilson, Jorge Grant, Lawrence Shankland, and Alex Cochrane, more could arrive. Savage reckons Baningime won't be back until later this year, so a midfielder may be required, while a defence and attack are other areas mentioned. He said on This Is My Story podcast : "We’re keeping an eye on a few positions, potentially centre-back. We’re not quite sure, we might dip into that market, we might not.
