Tynecastle outfit to raid SPL rivals
Skysports.com understands Hearts have made a beat-the-deadline move for Falkirk striker Pedro Moutinho.
Hearts are keen to bolster their attack before the close of the transfer window and they are hoping to persuade SPL rivals Falkirk to do business for Moutinho.
Moutinho has been a revelation at Falkirk since his arrival on a free transfer from Penamel and his performances have caught the attention of a host of clubs, with a number of scouts making the trip to Scotland to cast an eye.
The former Portugal Under 21 international's current contract expires at the end of the season and he could leave for nothing in the summer.
Falkirk have offered Moutinho a new deal, but the striker is keeping his options open.
Hearts are now trying to land Moutinho for a nominal fee hoping that Falkirk will be prepared to cash-in on him rather than risk losing him for free at the end of the season.
Moutinho is believed to be interested in a move to a bigger club and would jump at the opportunity of a switch to Tynecastle.
