Hearts Push to Land Versailles Midfielder Tom Renaud on a Free

The pursuit fits Hearts’ data-led focus on low-cost talent.

Overview

  • Hearts have made an offer to Tom Renaud and are pushing to finalise a deal, with the Versailles midfielder also weighing two lucrative proposals, the Daily Record reported.
  • The 25-year-old is a defensive midfielder set to become a free agent next month, and he has also filled in as a defender during spells with Lorient and SO Cholet.
  • Multiple outlets described talks as advanced, with the BBC/Yahoo roundup citing the Daily Record and Football Insider pointing to journalist Santi Aouna’s post on X.
  • Renaud was flagged by Jamestown Analytics, a data firm that has guided Hearts toward undervalued players such as Claudio Braga and Alexandros Kyziridis.
  • Football Insider argued that Rangers and Celtic should speed up free-agent business because early moves could be easier before the summer World Cup complicates transfers.
