However, one player stands out from the crowd, and TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal that there is international interest in his services.
Danny Armstrong, a 26-year-old winger, is having a fantastic season, receiving many Player of the Match accolades and being the star of a recent triumph over champions Celtic.
TEAMtalk sources have indicated that clubs from Scotland, the English Championship and MLS are keen on doing a deal in January and have watched him over recent weeks in the hope of securing his signature.
Hearts have a strong interest in the winger, with their Sporting Director Joe Savage admitting at a recent AGM that the club are looking into a potential transfer.
Savage said it would be a million-pound deal to bring Armstrong in. TEAMtalk understands, however, that Kilmarnock would actually be willing to listen to offers of around £600,000.
Armstrong’s cut-price valuation has sparked the interest of multiple sides from the English Championship and MLS, such as Charlotte FC, who are among the American clubs keen to lure him over to the States.
Former Norwich manager Dean Smith was recently hired as the new Charlotte manager, and the gifted winger might be one of his first signings if they win the hunt for his signature.
Kilmarnock would prefer to keep Armstrong, but the potential for a fantastic deal is one that many clubs with bigger financial resources are willing to accept.
TEAMtalk reports that a deal of around £600,000 will be tough for the Scottish Premiership club to refuse.
Hearts will almost certainly make an offer for Armstrong as they look to finish third behind Rangers and Celtic this season, but they will face competition from other clubs.
Another issue for Kilmarnock is that Armstrong’s contract expires in 2025, and they will have to consider selling him before he reaches the last year of his current contract and his price decreases any further.
Armstrong joined Kilmarnock from Raith Rovers in the summer of 2021 and has been instrumental in the club’s rise to the top division.
