Josh Doig transfer latest as Hibs star 'watched' by Leicester during Scottish Cup clash

Highly-rated Josh Doig is reportedly being tracked by Leicester as Brendan Rodgers' steps up the pursuit of the Hibs star.

The 18-year-old has established himself as a first team regular in the pursuit of third spot in the Premiership.

The wing-back recently signed a new contract at Easter Road to keep him at the club, but the Foxes have ramped up their interest in the starlet according to The Scottish Sun.

Having previously been linked with moves to the likes of Manchester City and Leeds, Rodger's high-flying Premier League side are now keeping tabs on Doig.

Scouts from the club were reportedly watching the teenager as he delivered another impressive performance against Queen of the South.

The 18-year-old was picked up by Hibs after being released by capital rivals Hearts while still in high school, making 19 appearances in his inaugural senior season including two semi-final run-outs at Hampden.
