Joe Wollacott 'wanted' by Hibs as Lee Johnson eyes Easter Road reunion with Ghana cap

Lee Johnson wants to snap up Charlton keeper Joe Wollacott, according to a report.

The Ghanaian international is no stranger to the Easter Road boss having worked together at Bristol City with the Daily Record stating he is looking for a reunion in the capital as he bids to beef up his goalkeeping ranks this summer. Max Boruc is believed to be on his way from Slask Wroclaw with veteran No1 David Marshall also still on the books.

The Leith club have started their recruitment drive this summer with Adam Le Fondre joined by Jordan Obita as they look to strengthen ahead of the new Scottish Premiership campaign and a crack at European football. They enter the Europa Conference League at the second qualifying stage and will face one of Vikingur or Inter Club d'Escaldes as they begin their journey to try and reach the group stage.

With European and domestic matters on the agenda, extra cover will be needed with Wollacott interesting his former boss.

The Ghana international has spent time on loan at the likes of Weymouth, Truro City, Forest Green Rovers and Swindon Town before that was made permanent. He has since joined Charlton Athletic and is now wanted in another transfer.

The Hibees are already back in pre-season with testing and the hard graft underway ahead of the new campaign.

They will play their European two-legged tie next month with the two matches played over July 27 and August 3.
