Winger happy to spend another season at Hearts
Andrew Driver insists he is happy to stay at Hearts this season and prove he is worth his £5million valuation.
The England Under 21 international has been linked with a move to the Premier League with reports claiming Burnley made a £2million offer earlier in the summer.
Hearts are understood to have placed a £5million price tag on Driver and want the winger to spend another season at Tynecastle.
Driver is happy to go along with Hearts' wishes and is eager to demonstrate that he is capable of eventually securing a move to the England.
Crazy figures
"I've had a chat with the manager (Csaba Laszlo) about my future and that will remain private," Driver told the
Daily Record.
"But it's clear that he wants me to stay for another year and I have told him I am happy to stay and continue improving. I've got a long contract at Hearts and I'm very happy here.
"I'm not going to go to the club right now and say I want to leave. It does me no favours to burn my bridges, but I have always said that if the opportunity arises I would like to go to the Premiership.
"I've got to set new targets and if I achieve them then perhaps the figure that has been placed on my head won't seem as silly to some as it does now.
"Football is a funny business and you get crazy figures thrown about all the time for players.
"The figure being talked about for me is very high, but I hope I can show in the next few months I'm worth it. It doesn't put any extra pressure on me.
"If anything it's good to know the club values me so highly, but at the end of the day you're only worth as much as someone is willing to pay."
