HEARTS are in advanced signing talks with Jorge Grant after having a bid accepted for the Peterborough United midfielder.
The 27-year-old has been in Edinburgh as the Jambos attempt to convince him his future lies north of the border.
The former Nottingham Forest player is just 12 months into a three-year deal at Peterborough but The Posh have agreed to a cut-price deal following relegation to League One.
Grant scored twice in 29 appearances for Peterborough last season after joining last summer from Lincoln City, where he proved more prolific with 17 goals from 51 outings.
Hearts, who are trying to bring Lawrence Shankland back to Scotland from Beerschot in Belgium, have competition for Grant’s signature but are hopeful that guaranteed group stage football in Europe will prove an irresistible lure.
It is understood the Tynecastle outfit are not yet confident they have their man and are not expecting anything to happen ‘imminently’.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
