There have already been nine new signings of the Johnson era with Croatian full-back Marijan Čabraja the most recent arrival.
Club chiefs are still awaiting work permits for Čabraja and fellow new signings Jair Tavares and Élie Youan, but Momodou Bojang made his debut off the bench in Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Bonnyrigg Rose in the Premier Sports Cup.
Speaking after the game, Johnson remained coy over his targets but confirmed some things were being worked on, with a central defender believed to be high on the manager’s wishlist. "There might be some new signings [in the next week].
Not definitely, but we are spinning plates,” he commented. "Sometimes they fall, sometimes they come very quickly but we are in the mix for one or two." However, it is understood that free agent centre-back Terell Thomas, who most recently played for Reading, is not one of them, despite reports over the weekend linking Hibs with a move for the 26-year-old as they look to bolster their rearguard.
