MJ Kamson-Kamara has impressed on loan away from Lincoln City, and he's attracting some notable transfer interest.
the72.co.ukHere’s what’s publicly reported about MJ Kamson-Kamara most recently:
- Hearts showing concrete interest. Multiple outlets in early May 2026 reported that Heart of Midlothian (Hearts) had held talks with Kamson-Kamara as Lincoln City eyed his contract situation, with the defender poised to leave Lincoln when his deal expires this summer.[1][2]
- Lincoln City’s stance publicly acknowledged a pathway issue. Lincoln’s own communications indicated Kamson-Kamara would move on to Hearts when his contract ended, highlighting a lack of a clear pathway for him at Lincoln City due to squad depth plus new signings.[3]
- A transfer progression with a destination: The widely cited narrative from a prominent Lincoln-focused source suggested Hearts were pursuing Kamson-Kamara as part of their plans in Scotland, with the move framed as likely at the conclusion of the current contract terms.[4]
- Official club confirmation remains position-specific: Lincoln City published notes aligning with the view that Kamson-Kamara would complete a move to Hearts upon completion of his contract, reinforcing the timing around a summer transfer window.[3]
