“I can confirm we have had an offer turned down for Ryan Stevenson,” said Evans. “We have spoken to Hearts and we respect their right to turn down the offer we made. We are some distance apart in what we offered to what [Hearts] wanted, so we will move on to alternative targets we have identified.”
