Burnley have had two offers for the 20-year-old Oldham-born wideman turned down over the close season, before the Edinburgh club appointed Hungarian Csaba Laszlo as their new manager.

Laszlo last week declared he was determined to hold onto his best young players - including Driver and Christophe Berra - and Driver revealed he has every intention of honouring the remaining three years on his contract: "I'm happy at the club and I've never once said I'm not.

"The club's given me my first step in first-team football and I've got to repay them.

"I've signed a contract and that contract lasts three years and I've got to give 100% for however long I'm here.

"I like Edinburgh, I've got all my friends, my whole family is here so there's nothing pushing me to want to move now.

"Nothing's ever come to me about Burnley. I've heard nothing about that so I can't act on that.

"Ive just got to get my head down and play for Hearts.

"I'm a Hearts player and I'm happy here and that's as far as it goes.

"You see the stories but until someone comes to me to say it was happening, I don't have a decision to make."
