Hibs could face a fight to keep Ryan Porteous with Stoke City ready to make their move in the January transfer window, according to a report.
The Easter Road stopper is out of contract in the summer and could pen a pre-contract with the English Championship club or see out the season in Leith before leaving on a free. Alex Neil has had the Scotland international scouted extensively in the past few weeks and has been impressed with the results say the Daily Record.
Neil moved to the Bet365 Stadium earlier this year and is trying to put his stamp on the team as he bids to take them back to the riches of the English Premier League. They are believed to be one of a number of clubs keen on the stopper. Millwall hold a previous interest and have had bids booted out in the past while Luton Town and League One giants Sheffield Wednesday are all said to be aware and keen of the 23-year-old.
