Hibs are set to beat a host of clubs to the signing of Reuben McAllister from Bristol City, according to a report.
Lee Johnson is said be splashing over £100,000 to snap up the highy-rated teenager with a sell-on clause included on a deal until 2025. Rangers and Celtic have both previously been credited with a transfer interest as have English Premier League outfits Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City.
McAllister is said to have favoured a switch to Easter Road over other options in Scotland and England due to working with Johnson, says transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
