Ross County's Dhanda to join Hearts in summer

Dhanda joined Ross County in June 2022 after being released by Swansea City

Heart of Midlothian have agreed a pre-contract deal with Ross County's Yan Danda - but hope to bring the midfielder to Tynecastle in January.

Hearts are keen to bring the playmaker in before the summer, with the January transfer window closing on Wednesday.

Ross County are keen to keep Dhanda as they seek to avoid relegation.

Derek Adams' side are second bottom of the Scottish Premiership and face Livingston, who are six points adrift at the foot of the table, on Tuesday.

Dhanda came through the youth system at Liverpool and joined the Dingwall club after leaving Swansea City in June 2022.

He played for England Under-16s and Under-17s and has scored eight goals for County in 63 appearances.
