Hibs fans may be whipping themselves into a mild frenzy over the arrival of wing wizard Aiden McGeady.
But according to former Belgium star Steven Defour it’s fellow Easter Road new boy Elie Youan who is just as likely to leave the Leith faithful spellbound with his magic feet. Youan has joined up with Lee Johnson ’s squad at their Portuguese training camp having signed a season-long loan deal from St Gallen with an option to buy.
Little is known of the Frenchman among the Hibs support. But together with fellow new boys McGeady, Momodou Bojang and Jair Tavares, the 23-year-old will be expected to produce the goods in the final third. Defour has backed him to do just that and lighten up Leith as part of Johnson’s new-look frontline with his blistering pace and technical quality.
