Lee Johnson has revealed Christian Doidge could be on his way out of Hibs with “four or five” clubs keen on the Welsh striker.
But the Easter Road boss has left the door open to the 30-year-old to fight for a place in his side if he decides to stay. Nohan Kenneh – who spent the second half of last season on loan at Ross County – is another attracting interest from south of the border, although Johnson reckons the midfielder, now 20, still has a part to play in Leith. Doidge spent last term on loan at Kilmarnock but only netted three goals in 32 appearances for Derek McInnes’ side.
Johnson said “While you’re here, you always have an opportunity. But there’s been serious interest in Christian, there are four or five clubs trying to recruit him. Christian has a year left on his contract and, as a club, we honour that. If he stays because he or we don’t feel those offers are good enough, then, of course, he has every opportunity to stake his claim.”
