Hibs boss Lee Johnson will have to overcome competition from Aberdeen if he is to land Dundee United favourite Jamie McGrath - with his future at Wigan Athletic up in the air.
Hibs have already signed Elie Youan for a fee of around £500,000, whilst veteran striker Adam Le Fondre has also signed on a free transfer from Sydney FC. It's been a summer of outgoings so far for the Edinburgh club, with Darren McGregor, Mikey Devlin and Aidan McGeady departing on free transfers whilst Kevin Nisbet left for Millwall in a £2million deal.
With money in the bank and players to replace, the key turns to recruitment. The club have over £1.5m to spend in transfer profits, whilst wages have been saved. And that, according to Alan Nixon, could be spent on McGrath, with the club set to rival Aberdeen for his signature.
