Hibs are confident of keeping Elie Youan at Easter Road beyond the summer.
The capital club snapped up the St Gallen forward on a loan deal last June and he has gone on to net six goals and provide seven assists in all competitions to date. He played a key role in Lee Johnson's men securing top six football as they now look to book a spot in Europe for next season over the final five Premiership matches.
The Daily Record report that the Easter Road outfit are keen to keep the Frenchman on a permanent basis and have a six-figure option as part of his loan agreement that can be activated at any time. He has another year left on his contract at the Swiss club.
