Tottenham have signed young striker James Wilson on loan from Hearts in a deal that includes an option to buy at the end of the season.

Arsenal have been in talks with the Scottish Premiership leaders over a move for the 18-year-old – in a deal that was effectively a six-month trial.

Wilson, who became the youngest player to represent Scotland when he featured in the UEFA Nations League play-off against Greece in March, has joined Tottenham’s under-21 squad.

The Gunners later confirmed they had signed Scottish striker Ivan Mooney, 18, from St Mirren for their academy.

Wilson scored eight goals in 45 appearances for the Edinburgh club and earned a place in the Scotland senior squad.

Earlier this week, Hearts manager Derek McInnes admitted interest from Premier League clubs in Wilson had surprised him.

“He’s been restricted on minutes this season. It’s difficult to get into the first team at this age,” McInnes told Sky Sports Scotland.

“Will we see the benefit of the loan? Yes, to get some minutes. But this one was a bit on the left side.”

Mooney has made 23 appearances in all competitions for Scottish Premiership St Mirren since making his debut in October 2024.

He participated in the Scottish League Cup Final when St Mirren beat Celtic 3-1 in December 2025.

He can play as an attacking midfielder or as a central striker and has been capped at under-19 level for Scotland.
