Hearts reportedly has an interest in Leon King. Journalist Anthony Joseph has reported that the 22-year-old will be leaving Ibrox following the expiration of his contract next month. It is believed that the Glasgow outfit did not offer the defender a new deal. Rangers will be owed a nominal fee despite his free agency because King is under the age of 24, but it is likely to be a reasonably low figure. Millwall and Middlesbrough are among a number of clubs that have been linked with the signing of Leon King from Rangers this summer. Watford is among the sides interested in the 22-year-old following confirmation of his exit from Rangers. West Brom and Portsmouth have also been mentioned as potential destinations, although it remains unclear what the player’s preference is at this stage.

Leon King has announced his departure from Rangers, where he has been for 17 years. It is understood by Sky Sports News that Hearts have been monitoring his situation.

Si Ferry claimed on Open Goal that Hearts are looking at Rangers defender Leon King, who is in the final year of his contract. The 22-year-old is currently on loan at Ayr United. His teammate Jamie Murphy stated it would not be a surprise if there was interest and confirmed that other teams are looking at the player as he is out of contract. When the Scotland youth international first broke into the Rangers team in 2021, Newcastle, Leeds and Manchester United were reportedly showing interest.
