Ligue 1 side eye up move for Djoum

Hearts midfielder Arnaud D jo um is a target for french side Toulouse, according to reports.

The Ligue 1 side are lookingto persuade the 29- year old to leave Tyne castle this summer, when his contract expires.

Hearts have held discussions with their Cameroonian international about extending his stay but manager Craig Levein has admitted the player is likely to seek a new challenge elsewhere.

Toulouse have struggled in Ligue 1 this season, sitting in 14th place but, with a ten-point lead on Guingamp in the final relegation spot, they are all but assured of their status in the French top flight for next season.

Djoum has spent close to four seasons in Gorgie after joining Hearts in September 2015 following his release from Lech Poznan.
