Lee Johnson has given up on trying to keep Ryan Porteous at Hibs and will cash in on the centre back in January.
The Easter Road boss says they’ve made their best offer to the 23-year-old, who made an outstanding Scotland debut against Ukraine in September to enhance his reputation, and they are now resigned to the fact that they need to sell now as Porteous is about to go into the final six months of his contract.
Johnson admits that’s careless on Hibs’ part but he reckons there will be plenty of interest from the English Championship with Stoke City already credited with an interest.
