Hibs transfer latest on Musa Toure, Kris Moore and Adryan as Nick Montgomery names the deal that won't be happening

Nick Montgomery insists Hibs are pulling out all the stops to bring in new faces - but Brazilian Adryan won’t be joining and a decision on Kris Moore hangs in the balance. The duo have been training with the Easter Road club on their winter training camp in Dubai and both featured in Friday’s friendly defeat to Servette.

But while forward Adryan definitely won’t be offered a new deal, Montgomery says further discussions will be had with Leeds over a potential loan deal for defender Moore. One player the Hibees boss is keen on dealing in is Adelaide United ace Musa Toure. The two clubs remain in talks over the 18-year-old. But Montgomery admits any deal for the forward would need to wait until the summer with Toure in the final months of his contract.

He said: “He’s a very good young player that I know from Australia. We have made an enquiry but there’s nothing concrete. I know there’s been discussions between the clubs, and he’s got interest from elsewhere. He’s definitely the sort of young player profile – potential, athletic – that could come to Europe. Hopefully that can be a club like Hibs. But there’s nothing concrete.

“We’re definitely looking at players for next season, free contracts, for example. We’ve got a long list of players out of contract. It’s important we do make the enquiries, speak to the clubs and agents.

"But that’s just one step, there’s another 50 steps before you get anywhere near getting a player in the door. Yeah, Musa would be for next season. It’s been documented he’s out of contract.

"In Australia, a lot of players do run their contracts down because there’s no transfer fees between Australian clubs. That’s the way a lot of players move on to different clubs, they don’t sign long-term
