Hibs boss Terry Butcher could be close to landing his second loan signing in 24 hours, with a move for a Sunderland youngster.

The Hibees have this morning been linked with a loan move for young Black Cats striker Duncan Watmore.

Sunderland are hoping to loan the player out to gain some first team experience and Butcher is said to be keen.

Watmore impressed the Hibs boss in a recent reserve game, after being spotted by Hibs scout Steve Marsella, and according to today's press the Hibees are set to make a move.

The 19-year-old would be Butcher's second signing in the last few days, with the Hibees expected to announce the signing of Danny Haynes this afternoon,on loan for the rest of the season.
