Shankland omitted from Hearts’ Spanish training camp

For their pre-season training camp in Spain, Lawrence Shankland was missing from Heart of Midlothian’s 28-man squad.

The Scottish Premiership club’s 29-year-old striker has been in discussions about a new deal even though he is out of contract.

Derek McInnes, the new head coach, stated earlier this week that he wanted to speak with Shankland again on Tuesday and get some “clarity” about Shankland’s future “in the coming days.”

McInnes indicated that Hearts was hopeful of keeping the striker’s services, especially since he had not stated his intention to leave Tynecastle.

This week, Hearts signed a $ 9.86 million deal with Tony Bloom to acquire a 29% stake in the Edinburgh club.

The Tynecastle club already worked with Jamestown Analytics, Bloom’s business, for recruitment.
