Hearts cool over Wallace interest
Reports claim Portman Road boss Roy Keane is considering a bid for the 22-year-old, who made his Scotland debut in Japan last month.[LNB]Laszlo is determined to hold on to Wallace but insists it is only natural his performances have attracted attention of other clubs.[LNB]"I have watched how Lee Wallace has improved and his first cap for his country was a big moment for him," Laszlo told his club's official website.[LNB]"He did very well for us last season and signed a new contract. We saw many players leave in the summer and I do not want to lose many more.[LNB]"But I know how football works and if someone is doing well then it is okay for clubs to be looking at them.[LNB]"We have a young team at Hearts and need experience. Lee is just 22 but is a senior international. He has been part of our defence this season and has helped us a lot at the back.[LNB]"He is still learning in the game but is a player who wants to work hard. He is one of the best in his position in Scotland and can be a national player for a long time.[LNB]"If you tell me a club is interested in him, then I say this is normal."[LNB]Wallace impressed on his Scotland debut and kept his place in the squad for Saturday's friendly in Wales.[LNB][LNB]
