Hearts manager Robbie Neilson says a decision will be made on whether Jacob Davenport stays at the Jambos beyond this week will be made shortly.
The midfielder left Blackburn Rovers at the end of the English Championship season and is on trial with the Jambos with a view to a permanent move. A call on whether his stay at Hearts becomes a longer one will be made over a weekend where they travel to city rivals Hibs for their second Premiership match of the season.
Neilson has also been linked to South Korean forward Lee Seung-woo but was coy on the matter of whether or not he too could make a move to Tynecastle. He said: "We brought Jacob up and been having a look at him. We're still assessing it and will make a decision probably at the end of this week and over the weekend.

"But we're looking in those areas and we're trying to strengthen. I think we need a couple more to be honest with you but again it's about getting the right player in.

"We've recruited well in the last 18 months to two years so the players that are coming in have to be at that level to take us forward. We've got a couple of targets but we're just waiting for decisions on them to be honest with you."
