Robert Snodgrass nears Hearts transfer as veteran free agent agrees Tynecastle switch

Robert Snodgrass is nearing a return to Scottish football with a deal to Hearts edging closer for the free agent.

The Scotland cap has been without a club since leaving Luton at the end of last season. The Hatters offered a deal but Snodgrass turned that down in favour of a new challenge. The versatile midfielder had interest from clubs in the Championship and League One in England, while Motherwell have also openly been pursuing a deal to bring the veteran to Fir Park. However, the 34-year-old appears set to opt for a move to the Steelmen's Scottish Premiership rivals and pen a deal at Tynecastle.

A move to Gorgie is imminent following talks with Robbie Neilson and sporting director Joe Savage in recent days. Should the deal go through Snodgrass would bring a wealth of experience to the Jambos, who are looking to recover from back to back defeats.

Snodgrass has been has been capped 28 times by Scotland, and has played for several big clubs in the English Premier League including West Brom, Norwich and Hull CIty. Snodgrass sealed a £10 million switch to West Ham in January 2017, and also spent time one loan at Aston Villa while on the books at the Hammers.
