The striker has a year left on his current contract and the Jambos could cash in this summer.
He is currently away with Scotland at the Euros and it is brilliant to see him involved. I want him to do well for the country and for Hearts. And there is no doubt he deserves to be out in Germany. However, the bottom line is Hearts can’t afford to let him go as he enters the final year of his contract. He scored 31 goals last season and also had eight assists and he is frankly irreplaceable.
Even if he has a bad season he will still get 15 goals. That is guaranteed. The two positions we really need to strengthen are at right back and up front, regardless of the situation with Lawrence. I still feel we need somebody else to help him. At right-back we have signed Daniel Oyegoke from Brentford and could also bring in the Costa Rican Gerard Taylor.
Up until Christmas, Vargas was pretty inconsistent but he looked a far better player in the second half of the season. He and Allan Forrest combined really well last season. Taylor would have that safety net of having Vargas beside him at Hearts as it takes time to settle in to a new country and a new league.
