Hibs transfers: Harry McKirdy just one of many possible targets as options explored

Despite being linked with Swindon Town striker Harry McKirdy, it is understood that Hibs have not made any formal approach to the League Two club.

Speculative reports claim the Scottish Premiership side are poised to fork out a fee for the 25-year-old Englishman, who has contributed 18 goals and nine assists this term. But, the player is just one of many being tracked by the Leith side and, having failed to make the top six, forcing them to absorb up to a seven-figure loss, the likelihood of paying big money for one player is unlikely as they look to freshen and strengthen a number of departments ahead of next term.

Ahead of the summer transfer window, the club have been exploring options in England as well as abroad and while enhancing their attacking threat remains a priority, having scored just 13 goals in 16 matches in 2022, it is just one area of the team they are determined to galvanise as they look to bounce back from a disappointing league season.

A long list of possible summer targets has been drawn up by manager Shaun Maloney, chief executive Ben Kensell, and the recruitment team, with McKirdy one of the names on that list, but despite reports to the contrary, no deal is close to being done.
