Hearts are currently leading the race to sign Jorge Grant from Peterborough United, according to The Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath. A report from Football Scotland earlier this month revealed that the Jambos were interested in making a move for the Posh midfielder.
It is understood that Hearts are hoping that their involvement in the Europa League next season will play a role in helping to convince Grant to make the switch to Tynecastle.
As per the Edinburgh News, Peterborough are looking to secure a £750,000 fee for Grant this summer. Hearts are not believed to be willing to match this valuation and thus will need to engage in some negotiations with Posh.
Grant is currently surplus to requirements at the Weston Homes Stadium as Peterborough revealed last month that they are open to offers for the midfielder.
