Hearts Coach Steven Naismith Shocks Fans With His Recent Resignation.

This season, the Jambos are interested in signing the Crystal Palace midfielder permanently after his productive loan at Dundee previous season. Boateng, a 22-year-old, made 36 appearances across all Dens Park tournaments and was a key member of their top six hunt under Tony Docherty.

Football Scotland previously reported that Hearts were optimistic about bringing in their target to complement the plethora of new summer arrivals before the start of the new Premiership season. Naismith has now disclosed that they are “close” to getting someone in the engine room this week, albeit they haven’t mentioned Boateng by name.

“Because Calem Nieweenhoef and Beni Baningime are our two most natural No. 6s, their injuries have caused us a lot of problems. We’ll try to take action.”
