Andrew Driver can do better than Burnley FC insists Hearts boss

Hearts manager Jim Jefferies has told Andrew Driver he should aim higher than clubs like Burnley FC.

The Tynecastle outfit rejected a £2 million offer from the Clarets believing the 22-year-old winger is worth £3.5 million.

Jeffries told the Daily Express: "The club have got a value on him and, like a lot of players, you have to understand that when they are under contract. They (Burnley) did not offer what the club was looking for so the one good thing to come out of it is that he's here and he's a top player. We're delighted to have him.

"Some clubs in the present stage of football have to go and sell players for less than they are worth because they are struggling. But if we're not under such a situation, and we've got a value for the player, then we'll claim the right to redeem that money.

"Hibs did it with a lot of players recently and got a lot of benefits so, if the price is right, every player in Scotland is available but the price was not right.

"Andrew is committed to seeing out his contract and competing, but obviously playing well for Hearts he'll attract bigger clubs than Burnley."
