Hibs are set to land St Mirren ’s Kyle Magennis at the third time of asking.
The Edinburgh club are on the verge of agreeing a six-figure deal with the Buddies for their midfielder.
It is understood that Magennis is currently in the capital going through his medical with the Easter Road club.
Saints wanted to keep a hold of their home-grown star and that was why they had thrown out two earlier bids, as confirmed in an official club statement earlier this week.
But the player then indicated he was keen to talk to Hibs and is now set to reunite with Easter Road manager Jack Ross, who he previously played under at St Mirren.
It is a severe blow to Saints boss Jim Goodwin who was desperate to keep him in Paisley and had left a long-term deal on the table.
The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and could have signed a pre-contract and for compensation in the summer.
