Neilson says they aren't putting all their eggs in one basket, though.
“He’s a player that we’re looking at at the moment, as we're looking at a number of players,” said the Hearts boss. “We don’t want to fully commit on one. We will add to the squad, but we’ll also move a few players on just to get the squad size down as well.”
Paterson started his career with Heart of Midlothian, helping them win promotion to the Scottish Premiership in 2015. He moved to Cardiff City in 2017, and helped them win promotion to the Premier League in 2018. In 2020, he signed for Sheffield Wednesday.
