Hearts Secure Loan Deal for Charlton's Scott Fraser

Scott Fraser has made a loan move to Hearts from Charlton Athletic until the end of the season, expressing his desire to return to Scotland. A loan agreement between Hearts and Charlton was delayed due to the sacking of Charlton's manager, but has now been processed. Fraser, who has featured 78 times for Charlton, aims to help Hearts secure third place in the Scottish Premiership and possibly win the Scottish Cup. Hearts' head coach Steven Naismith has admired Fraser's ability and is expected to give him significant game time between now and the end of the season. The deal for Fraser's loan to Hearts was delayed as Charlton sacked their manager, but Tynecastle officials requested that their Charlton counterparts sign off the deal, and all concerned are hopeful the paperwork will be through soon.
