Hibs have joined the race for Portsmouth winger Ronan Curtis, according to reports.
The Republic of Ireland international featured 48 times for the English League One club last season, amassing 10 goals and eight assists across all competitions.
His time at Pompey looks like it's coming to an end though after four years, and according to The News, Hibs are one club with an 'eye' on the 26-year-old.
A clutch of EFL clubs are after him though, including Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City and Preston, alongside third tier club Derby County.

New Easter Road boss Lee Johnson is said to be another interested in the attacker Portsmouth are said to value at around £500,000.
Curtis has a year to run on his deal and could’ve left for a fee of around £1 million as recently at January, but boss Danny Cowley didn't agree to his departure.
Johnson knows the attack-minded player well from his time as Sunderland manager but his former opponent's preference is to remain in the EFL.
