Kevin Nisbet Hibs transfer status addressed by Lee Johnson as he names one reason striker 'won't be here'

Lee Johnson admits derby hero Kevin Nisbet won’t be at Hibs much longer if he keeps hitting the levels he did against Hearts.

Galatasaray, Preston, Middlesbrough, Millwall and Sheffield United all watched the 26-year-old score in the 1-0 win last weekend - as did Scotland boss Steve Clarke. That was the striker’s 10th goal in 14 appearances since returning from an ACL injury in December.

And Johnson hopes speculation continues to mount on the 26-year-old - who u-turned on a move to Millwall at the 11th hour back in January. Nisbet is contract until the summer of 2024 but Johnson has no idea if he’ll still be a Hibs player beyond the summer. He said: “You never know. He is attracting a lot of interest. The Scotland manager was there at the weekend as well and there’s never a bad time to have that kind of game.
