HEARTS have agreed a deal to sell kid Marc Leonard to Brighton.

SunSport understands an agreement has been reached which will see the 16-year-old attacking midfielder join the Seagulls.

It’s thought Newcastle, Celtic and Everton were also keen on the Scotland starlet.

But a switch to the Amex could now see the Jambos net as much as £350,000 based on appearances.

Leonard penned a new three-year deal with Hearts in June.

He hasn’t played for their first team but has trained with them.

Leonard was also invited to join in with the Scotland Under-21s in September when he was still only 15.
