Ginnelly’s deal expires next summer and while Hearts are interested in securing a permanent deal for the former Aston Villa, they would be willing to settle for a loan agreement. Hearts have been keeping a watchful eye on Ginnelly for some time now and officials at Tynecastle are fans of the pacey winger.

Ginnelly has been with Preston for a year and a half, earning a move to Deepdale after impressing with Walsall. Since joining, the 23-year-old has played nine times across all competitions for the Lilywhites.

He spent the second half of the 2019/20 season on loan in League One with Bristol Rovers. Ginnelly played nine times before the curtailment of the season. scoring one goal in the process.

A move to Hearts would see Ginnelly test himself outside of England for the first time in his career, so it will be interesting to see if ex-MK Dons boss Robbie Neilson is able to tempt the Preston North End man to Scotland.
