Hibs may have to add Christian Doidge to their offer for Dylan Levitt if they want to bring the Dundee United youngster to the capital this summer.
The Hibees are understood to be keen in the Welsh internationalist and have been in talks but have failed to match United’s £500,000 asking price. The Daily Record reports that United boss Jim Goodwin is interested in Doidge after the Welshman spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock. United would would be keen to take him in to spearhead their push for an immediate Premiership return amid a shortage of options up front. Steven Fletcher terminated his deal early and Tony Watt is still coming back from injury.
Ironically, Doidge scored a weekend brace for Hibs in their weekend friendly win over Edinburgh and boss Lee Johnson has insisted the door is open for the big Welshman to force his way into his first-team plans.
