ByNews reporter
Hearts have been linked with making a six-figure bid for Dundee United’s John Souttar.
The teenager is out of contract at Tannadice in the summer and has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.
The 19-year-old was understood to be on Celtic’s radar however the Jambos have now entered the race for Souttar’s signature with Blackburn Rovers also keen to land him.
The Tynecastle side have already had one offer rejected and have now bid £100,000 for the player.
However, United would be entitled to a substantial development fee for their youth academy graduate.
Back in 2014, United has to stump up £204,000 in compensation to Rangers after they signed Charlie Telfer.
