Hearts chief executive Andrew McKinlay believes his club could win the Scottish Premiership "at some point". (Herald - subscription required), external Celtic captain Callum McGregor plays down Hearts' promising start to the season after the Tynecastle side moved two points above the defending champions at the top of the Premiership, saying: "Anyone can get off to a good start. Aberdeen did it last year." (Record), external McGregor suggests the table will be more relevant after 36 games rather than six.

However, he suffered debilitating injury after injury, somehow collecting four major injuries alone in the 2023/24 season. Ergo, he only made 1 appearance the whole season long. He returned to Bayern in 2024 and was sent right back out on loan to VSG Altglienicke in the German Regionalliga Northeast, the fourth tier of German football. There, he at least got more game time but could not even clear 600 minutes in the Regionalliga.

The 27-year-old is expected to join on loan and become the third defender brought in after the club made almost 145m from the sale of two centre-halves and a left-back. Disasi's starts at Chelsea last season came largely in the Conference League and League Cup before he joined Aston Villa on loan in the winter window. He is able to play at centre-back or right-back and has made 44 Premier League appearances since joining Chelsea from Monaco two years ago.

Juventus showed remarkable efficiency in their Club World Cup opener, scoring four first-half goals against Al Ain to secure a 5-0 victory.

Tavares started well at Lazio but lost form, leading the club to consider other targets, potentially allowing him to leave this summer.
