According to reports, Liam Henderson has become a shock target for Hearts with the player likely to leave Bari this summer.
The financially stricken club are ready to move a few players on this summer to help balance the books and Henderson is one of their top performers.
Having only played in Italy for 6 months, the former Celtic youngster has made a big impression, so much so there are several Italian Serie A teams seriously considering signing him.
However, if reports are true the Tynecastle club are going to test Bari’s resolve and try and pull off one of the shock moves of this window in Scotland.
Henderson has played for Celtic as well as Hearts fiercest rivals Hibs. If this deal was to happen it would turn a lot of heads.
The smart money would be on Liam staying in Italy, he doesn’t seem the type to give up on something and he looks like he’s enjoying his football away from the fishbowl that is Scottish football.
Hearts already have like 3 full teams on their books, and the rumoured asking price for Henderson is in the 2 million euro range so I can’t see a scenerio where they could afford to buy him, especially with Serie A sides circling and I can’t see Bari letting him go on loan when they could get cash for him.
Goodluck to Liam in whatever happens regarding his football career.
