Jorge Grant is in Edinburgh ahead of sealing a switch to Hearts.
The Tynecastle club have had an offer accepted by Peterborough United for the attacking midfielder, and he’s now in the capital to talk terms.
And Record Sport understands a deal could be done this week ahead of Robbie Neilson ’s squad jetting out to Spain for a summer training camp, should Grant opt for the Jambos.
Neilson wants to add goals to his midfield as Hearts prepare for a crack at the Europa League group stage while trying to repeat their best of the rest Scottish Premiership finish from last year.
Grant netted 17 times during a season-long loan spell at Lincoln City in 2020/21, but finds himself out of the picture at London Road.
Grant has a release clause fee of £750,000 in his Posh contract, but have accepted Hearts’ lower offer and allowed the 27-year-old to travel north to discuss the switch.
A deal for Lawrence Shankland remains a possibility as Neilson also chases a replacement for Ellis Simms.
He wants the Everton striker back on loan again, but has admitted his chances of getting his man are small this summer with a number of English Championship clubs also interested.
Shankland played under Neilson, assistant Lee McCulloch and first team coach Gordon Forrest at Dundee United, and could be set for a reunion in the capital.
However, negotiations are ongoing with the clubs trying to reach an agreement on a transfer fee before any talks with the former Tannadice hitman can take place.
He left the Scottish Premiership for Beerschot August, but the Pro League campaign ended in relegation.
And the Belgium club shared an image of Shankland training earlier today as he joined the rest of the squad for pre-season training.
