Lee Johnson says he is not raiding former club Bristol City for their best players as he confirms Reuben McAllister's move to Hibernian is "probably going to happen."
It was reported on Friday how City's highly-rated 16-year-old midfielder is set to team up with Johnson at the Scottish side on a three-year deal. His dad Jamie McAllister was recently appointed as his No2.
A fee is thought to be around £120,000 with a significant sell-on clause. Hibernian will also eye the transfer as a major coup with a number of Premier League sides reportedly interested including Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City - plus Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers.
