Spurs begin discussions with Hearts about James Wilson loan
Tottenham Hotspur has started talks with Hearts regarding a possible loan for James Wilson.
According to Sky Sports News, the arrangement may include an option to buy, with Wilson initially expected to join Spurs’ under-21 squad.
This news comes after reports that Arsenal is also in discussions with Hearts for a similar loan deal.
Overview of James Wilson and recent performance
This season, James Wilson has made only one league start for Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
The young forward had a strong performance last season, netting six goals for the Tynecastle club, including a crucial equalizer against Hibernian.
With interest rising from clubs in England, Hearts now face the decision of whether to let one of their top prospects go out on loan before the transfer window closes.
