Leeds United look set to beat off competition from Celtic and Manchester United to land Hearts starlet James Wilson at the end of the season.
The Scotland Under 16s captain is regarded as one of the best prospects to have come out of Tynecastle for years and Hearts have offered him a three-year deal to stay in the capital. Celtic have previously been named as an interested party in forward Wilson and the Old Trafford giants were credited with an interest in the youngster too in December. English Premier League clubs Fulham and Brighton were also keen.
But it's believed Leeds have stolen a march on them all with a financially-attractive offer and his family has been given a guided tour of the Yorkshire club's facilities. Hearts have reluctantly accepted they will lose Wilson, who captained Scotland in the Victory Shield and will receive around £120,000 in compensation.
