Hearts transfer latest as updates emerge over duo heading back to Tynecastle as former star put in shop window

Hearts have a Premiership title bid to concern themselves with but summer transfer business is already ongoing behind the scenes.

Midfield target Tom Renaud was in the Tynecastle stands on Monday to see the Jambos defeat Rangers 2-1 and reassert their three-point lead at the top of the table with three games to go. Defender MJ Kamson-Kamara is another on the radar as plans commence for a season that could include Champions League football if top flight glory for the first time since 1960 is confirmed.

It’s only May but already verdicts are being cast and rumours are aplenty ahead of the summer. Here’s a collection of them ahead of Hearts’ next match versus Motherwell.

Zander Clark return at Doncaster Rovers assessed

One player who was back in Gorgie on Monday was Zander Clark after the conclusion of his loan with English League One side Doncaster Rovers. The goalkeeper made nine appearances but eventually was left on the bench and didn’t make the final matchday squad against Peterborough United. He is contracted till next season at Hearts and Doncaster boss Grant McCann has explained his loan outcome.

McCann told the Doncaster Free Press: "I just spoke to Zander and I said that I wanted to basically give Jake (Oram) a go (against Peterborough). But Zander's been brilliant since he came to the club. Really, really good. So it's meant for him a little bit of an extended sort of break. Against Peterborough it was just an opportunity to give Sean Grehan and Jay McGrath an opportunity and also young Kasper (Williams). Then obviously there's Thimothee Lo-Tutala, who's been here before and we know what he's about and he's got better. I feel he's got better with the competition with Zander."

Yan Dhanda Hearts future latest

Another who’s spent the season away from Hearts is Yan Dhanda. He signed for the club from Ross County in 2024 and has emerged as an important player this term for Dundee under former Jambos captain Steven Pressley. The Dens Park boss admits Dhanda’s possible return to Tayside is uncertain with a year left on his Tynecastle terms.

Pressley said: "The recruitment team are certainly having those conversations with the clubs about the players. Yet with a number of boys I'd say it's unlikely we'd get them back. When you bring players in on loan, and they do well, their clubs look to step them up, either with themselves or elsewhere. Our wide players, especially, have done very well. Yan Dhanda has done really well in his time here, so it's going to be difficult to keep them beyond the end of the season."

Taylor Moore transfer listed by Bristol Rovers

Former Hearts defender Taylor Moore meanwhile has been told he can leave English League Two club Bristol Rovers. The centre-back spent the 21/22 season on loan at Tynecastle before returning to Bristol City, spending seven years overall with the Robins, before departing for France and Valenciennes. The ex Bristol City man has now been told alongside Luke Southwood, Isaac Hutchinson, Josh McEachran, Kamil Conteh, Macauley Southam-Hales and Jed Ward that they are ‘available for transfer/loan’ from the Gas.
