SPL side preparing move for experienced Ipswich Town star

Ipswich Town defender Christophe Berra is a target for Scottish Premier League side Hearts, according to The Edinburgh News.

Hearts are keen on bringing Berra back to the club where he started his career.

Christophe Berra is reportedly keen on a return to Scotland and he is currently trying to negotiate a release from his contract with Ipswich Town.

The towering centre half played over 100 games for Hearts – where he was captain – before moving to Wolves in 2009.

He made the move from Wolves to Ipswich in 2013 and he has made over 150 appearances for the Tractor Boys since his move.

The 31-year-old is also a regular in the Scotland national side’s defence.

Hearts manager Ian Cathro has identified Berra as a possible central defensive partner with new signing Aaron Hughes after Igor Rossi left the club to join Saudi Arabian side Al Faisaly Harmah.
