Hearts head coach Derek McInnes has stated the club is a "good proposition" for potential new signings. The Scottish Premiership leaders aim to strengthen their squad during the upcoming January transfer window. McInnes hopes to exit the window with a stronger team.
Kazakhstan winger Islam Chesnokov has already joined Hearts and is expected to be available for selection in early January. Dutch right-back Jordi Altena, 22, from RKC Waalwijk, is also likely to sign, with a six-figure fee reportedly agreed. Altena is currently undergoing a medical.
Hearts recently defeated Rangers 2-1, extending their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. McInnes acknowledged that some current players may seek moves for more regular football. He does not expect St Johnstone winger Josh McPake to join in January, despite previous interest.
