Hibs could face a fight with an SPFL rival to land Will Fish for next season, according to a report.
Lee Johnson snapped up the Manchester United defender for the campaign last term and he impressed after finally breaking into the team at the midway point of the season. The Hibees were rocked in January by Ryan Porteous' exit for Watford and an injury to Rocky Bushiri but the 20-year-old slotted in and impressed his boss and supporters.
In all he made 22 apperances for the Leith club scoring three goals in the process as they secured fifth spot in the Scottish Premiership. Celtic's Scottish Cup triumph over Inverness meant that proved enough to land a shot at Europe in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round.
