Hibs are eyeing up a cheap deal for Swindon Town forward Harry McKirdy - as Ethan Laidlaw's senior chances are talked up.
The Daily Record report that boss Lee Johnson has entered into talks over the attacker who was recently handed a three-match ban and a £1500 fine after he was sent off against Salford City earlier this month. He is aware he needs to bolster his squad before September 1st's deadline day after a busy few months of revamping the Easter Road playing group.
McKirdy scored an impressive 23 goals with 10 assists last season primarily playing as a centre forward and right winger. He's in the final year of his contract 'so could be available for a cut-price fee.' Hibs hero Tam McManus has been critical of the club's transfer approach this summer and reckons Johnson should be looking to bring through Laidlaw into senior contention after hitting the goals at youth level, attracting big name interest from down south.
