Nohan Kenneh nips down to Leeds on his day off for food at his parents’ house because he can’t cook. It’s fair to say he’s still getting used to living on his own in Edinburgh. But he has been in the city long enough to know what a derby match means to Hibs supporters.
When asked what people have told him about playing Hearts, quick as a flash he replied: “Don’t lose.” So he’s already got a gist of what he’s going into at Easter Road this afternoon. And as a youngster who has built a reputation for being a physical powerhouse, a clash with their Gorgie neighbours might be right up his street.
Hibs gaffer Lee Johnson reckons he’s got a future star in Kenneh. A former England youth cap alongside the likes of Jude Bellingham and Harvey Elliott, the 19-year-old was part of Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team squad at Leeds United last season in the Premier League. So he’s got ability. It’s now up to Johnson to help him fulfil his potential in the Premiership.
