Rocky Bushiri reacts to Lee Johnson's £10m Hibs price tag comment as he hails two Easter Road stars

Rocky Bushiri has reacted to Lee Johnson's £10million price tag comment after turning his fortunes around at Easter Road.

The Hibs boss has openly admitted that he was more than happy to let the defender depart the club in the summer but after a solid pre-season and his willingness to take on instructions and learn, it has transformed his game with his gaffer 'very impressed' with the standards he is now showing.

Speaking previously about the former Norwich City stopper - who was brought to the club by Shaun Maloney - he said: “When I walked through the door he was one that I was more than happy to move him on, and now I wouldn’t let him go for £10million. I’ve been very impressed with him. A couple of weeks into pre-season we gave him simple rules to which he has to adhere, in terms of his defending. In the past, when I watched him, I felt he was too rash in his decision-making, but we have drilled him and he has been a good student, really willing to learn.”
