Elias Melkersen could be set to leave Hibernian just one year after joining the club, according to reports.
The Norwegian forward sealed the deal to join the Hibees last January from Bodo/Glimt for a "significant undisclosed fee" but found the transition to Scotland difficult with just three goals in 29 appearances since making the switch to the Leith outfit. The 20-year-old has fallen down the pecking order of Lee Johnson's side with returning Kevin Nisbet holding down the fort on rock-solid form.
Now according to reports in Holland, Sparta Rotterdam are lining up a loan swoop for the forward that could include a potential option to buy should the switch prove fruitful. Johnson previously spoke of the need to cut his over-inflated squad in the January window and Melkersen could be a candidate for a switch.
