Kevin Nisbet is under consideration by Hearts as a potential alternative if Lawrence Shankland decides to leave. Nisbet is currently at Millwall, returning from a loan spell at Aberdeen, and is going into the final year of his contract. Derek McInnes, a long-time admirer of Nisbet, is keeping an eye on his situation.

Hearts were interested in signing Kevin Nisbet, but Aberdeen were already ahead of them in the process of signing the player.

Neil McCann suggests that Steven Naismith should offer Kevin Nisbet a switch to Hearts. McCann believes Nisbet can lead the line and would be a good fit for Hearts, especially if Lawrence Shankland is played in a No10 role.
