Hibs have this afternoon had a £250,000 bid for Dunfermline striker Kevin Nisbet rejected by the fife club.
The 22-year-old hitman has been hammering the goals in for the Pars this season and has attracted the interest of a number of clubs.
The Hibees have now made the first move, and are expected to go back in for the 6ft 1in forward before the window closes tonight.
There is the possibility that Hibs will thrown in Fraser Murray on loan to bolster the deal.
It's now a waiting game to find out if Hibs boss Jack Ross will up his offer.
Nisbet has scored 17 goals this season.
Editor's View:
This is a possibly brilliant singing for the Hibees.
He's still only 22 and clearly has bags of potential.
Could Hibs take him to the next level, we will find out if they manage to pull this one off.
