Hibs 'to shell out' six-figure transfer fee on foreign striker as Lee Johnson continues rebuild

Hibs are set to shell out a big six-figure fee for LASK Linz striker Adam Griger, according to a report.

The 18-year-old striker - who had a trial stint at Rangers three years ago - has attracted interest from across Europe but the Easter Road club are confident they have landed the frontman and he will arrive in Scotland as soon as possible to complete the formalities of the transfer.

The Scottish Sun reports that LASK Sporting director Radovan Vujanovic has negotiated a sell-on clause as part of the £200,000 deal. Lee Johnson has already been very active in the transfer market this summer with huge additions in the likes of David Marshall, Aiden McGeady, Jair Tavares and Nohan Keeneh. Martin Boyle is the latest to make the switch to Easter Road with the fans' favourite back after eight months in Saudi Arabia. The Hibees sold the attacker for a reported £3million at the start of the year with a financial package put together to bring the 29-year-old back to Leith.
