This will wound a greedy person’s heart (10)
I believe the answer is:
pigsticker
'this will wound a greedy' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'person's heart' is the wordplay.
'person's' becomes 'pigs' (pig is a kind of person).
'heart' becomes 'ticker' (informal term for the heart).
'pigs'+'ticker'='PIGSTICKER'
