Robbie Neilson hopes to have deals for Jorge Grant and Alex Cochrane tied up in the next few days with both players “desperate” to sign.
But the Hearts boss insists top scorer Liam Boyce is going nowhere. The Northern Irishman was linked with ABerdeen and Ipswich this week, but Neilson is determined to keep him in Gorgie.
A fee has been agreed with Peterborough for Grant, but the 27-year-old still needs to negotiate his exit from London Road before he can sign with the Jambos. It’s a similar scenario with Cochrane ahead of his permanent return from Brighton after spending last season on loan at Tynecastle.
