Reportedly eavesdrop in this direction (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

over here

'in this direction' is the definition.

'reportedly eavesdrop' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'eavesdrop' becomes 'overhear' (I've seen this before).
'overhear' sounds like 'OVER HERE'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
