Elie Youan Hibs permanent transfer confirmed as Easter Road side trigger option to buy clause

Hibs have confirmed the permanent capture of Elie Youan.

The Easter Road side have triggered the option to buy clause in his loan deal from St Gallen with the 24-year-old putting pen to paper on a three-year deal in the capital. He's been a key player for boss Lee Johnson so far this campaign and contributed to 14 goals in the Premiership - scoring seven and creating seven.

The men from Leith are right in the battle to finish in the European places for next season with Youan set to play a vital role in the final four fixtures. They opened the top six schedule with a vital home win over St Mirren and now make the trip to Aberdeen knowing victory at Pittodrie would move them to within three poitns of third with three games to still play.
