Hibs transfer latest as EPL talents linked as Lee Johnson bids to add deadline day recruits

Hibs have been name-checked as a possible destination for Ethan Galbraith.

The Manchester United midfielder looks set to depart Old Trafford on loan and has interest from Crewe and Lee Johnson's men, according to the Daily Mail.

The 21-year-old is a Northern Ireland international and he spent last season on loan at Doncaster Rovers. He made 36 appearances in all competitions for the English League outfit and he netted one goal and provided three assists in that period. He could now potentially arrive at Easter Road with the Hibees looking to add to their pool ahead of the midnight deadline.

Swindon Town striker Harry McKirdy is said to be close to penning a deal in the capital with the Scotsman reporting that he is currently undergoing medical checks. The 25-year-old is a long-term target of Johnson and with his deal up in the summer, they are believed to have got a move over the line.

Defensive reinforcements could also arrive in Leith today with Southampton centre-back Dynel Simeu the name doing the rounds.

Macauley Bonne is another that has been mentioned in the past couple of days.

It comes as Christian Doidge swapped Hibs for a loan move to Kilmarnock yesterday. Derek McInnes moved to snap up the Welshman on a season-long agreement.
