Kamson-Kamara to join Hearts | Lincoln City Football Club
MJ Kamson-Kamara will complete a move to Hearts at the completion of his contract with City.
www.weareimps.comMJ Kamson-Kamara is a Lincoln City defender who has drawn transfer interest in 2026, with multiple outlets reporting Hearts (Heart of Midlothian) were in talks or have shown strong interest as his Lincoln City contract neared expiry. Some reports suggested a potential move to Hearts following a loan spell at Glentoran, and a number of sources pointed to Hearts pursuing him as part of their plans for squad strengthening.[1][2][3][4]
Key points to contextualize:
- Current status: As of May 2026, Kamson-Kamara’s Lincoln City contract was set to expire, fueling speculation about a move on a free transfer. This is reflected in several football news roundups from May 2026.[2][1]
- Interest from Hearts: Multiple outlets (including The News Letter via Stacey West and The 72) reported Hearts’ interest and talks, signaling that he was a prioritized target for the Scottish club during the summer transfer window.[1][2]
- Previous development path: Kamson-Kamara developed through Lincoln City’s academy, had loan spells at Peterborough Sports and Glentoran, and had increasingly featured for Glentoran before attracting Premier League interest from Hearts. Lincoln City’s own communications at the time indicated they expected him to move on when a suitable pathway existed.[3][6]
Illustrative snapshot:
- If you’re tracking the progression, a typical timeline would be: performance on loan at Glentoran drives interest, contract expiry triggers free-agent movement talk, and a top-flight club in Scotland (Hearts) reportedly pursues a deal with potential compensation discussions if any transfer is possible or a contract switch on a free.
