Hearts boss Robbie Neilson admits his team are ready to go Down Under again in the search of more transfer gems.
Sporting director Joe Savage and the Hearts recruitment team will scour the globe for talent, the Jambos boss admits the Aussie market ticks most of the boxes for the Gorgie side. And Neilson said: "We've only got a limited budget so we can't go to big nations in Europe, even the MLS is difficult for us now. We have to try and find the countries that have value for money and the good thing about the Australian market is that they all speak English. A lot of Australian boys want to play in Europe, it's a big pull to come over here - not matter what country it is."
Hearts' trio will put the club on the map for potential new signings insists Robbie Neilson, as he prepares to delve back into the transfer market once again. Cammy Devlin, Kye Rowles and Nat Atkinson are all preparing to take on holders France on Tuesday after getting the golden ticket to Qatar from Australia boss Graham Arnold.
And Neilson reckons that level of exposure can help attract more international stars to Tynecastle.
He added: "Hearts should have international footballers and should be a pathway to get into international football. We've managed to help get three guys to a World Cup and would like to get more guys into the Scotland squad and other nations."
