Dundee United at loggerheads with Hearts over Neilson transfer compensation dispute
DUNDEE UNITED sporting director Tony Asghar admits the club are still at loggerheads with Hearts over Lewis Neilson.
The 19-year-old defender was snapped up by the Jam Tarts earlier this month from the Tangerines.
United insist they are due a development fee for the teenager but Hearts believe they owe United nothing with the case now likely to be settled by tribunal.
Asghar said: “There’s been a lot of talk about Lewis Neilson.
"We have a case that I assume will next go to tribunal.
"We feel that we’re due compensation as a football club.
“That’s with our legal team and the SPFL at present.”
When asked if he was confident of a successful outcome, Asghar added: “Very confident.”
