Liam Boyce says he's not got any thoughts about leaving Hearts amid reports Aberdeen and Ipswich Town are after him.
The Northern Irishman has been a hit for the Tynecastle club since his 2020 arrival in Edinburgh. He's scored 34 goals with 15 assists in 80 matches and recent reports have linked him with a potential switch across the Premiership to Aberdeen, while League One club Ipswich are also reported as potential suitors. The notion of Boyce going anywhere though has proven false according to the striker.
And the 31-year-old has hit out at reports he deems as fantasy: “I’m happy to be here and I’ve always said I’m happy to go wherever I’m wanted or stay wherever I’m wanted. I’m just happy to be at Hearts, a big club, we’re in Europe and that’s the way I take it. When you get older it sort of happens in every window.

“Wherever I’ve been I’ve never tried to force my way out or say I’ve wanted to leave.
"If the team wants me and I feel like I’m valued here then I’m happy to stay anywhere that’s available, and if the club want me to stay I’m more than happy to.”
Boyce helped Hearts to a third placed Premiership finish last season which has guaranteed European football until Christmas this term. The Jambos' new campaign begins against Ross County later this month.
