Laszlo was responding to reports that Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane has had Hearts left back Lee Wallace watched with a view to making a move for the Scotland international in the January transfer window.
Keane is said to be considering a bid of around £2m to take Wallace to Portman Road and is also believed to be interested in the young defender’s Portuguese team mate Jose Goncalves.
Wallace made his international debut in last month’s friendly with Japan in Yokahama and is in George Burley’s Scotland squad to face Wales this Saturday in Cardiff.
Laszlo told the club's webiste: "I have watched how Lee Wallace has improved and his first cap for his country was a big moment for him.
"He did very well for us last season and signed a new contract [until 2012]. We saw many players leave in the summer and I do not want to lose many more. But I know how football works and if someone is doing well then it is OK for clubs to be looking at them.
"We have a young team at Hearts and need experience. Lee is just 22 but is a senior international. He has been part of our defence this season and has helped us a lot at the back.
"He is still learning in the game but is a player who wants to work hard. He is one of the best in his position in Scotland and can be a national player for a long time. If you tell me a club is interested in him, then I say this is normal."
