Hibs-Mad understands that Hibees boss Colin Calderwood is keen on a summer move for Aberdeen attacker Sone Aluko.
The 21-year-old former Birmingham City and England U19 player is currently in hot water at the Dons following a tirade at under pressure manager Mark McGhee, and would appear to be on his way out of Pittodrie.
Aluko is out of contract at the end of the season, and Calderwood is watching the situation with interest, as he looks at a summer transfer merry-go-round at Easter Road.
18 Hibs players are out-of-contract in the summer, and only a handful are expected to be offered new deals.
Hibs are also said to be hot on the heels of former winger Ivan Sproule and Falkirk winger Ryan Flynn as Calderwood looks to add both speed and width as he builds his own squad in Leith.
Nigerian international Aluko can play wide left and through the middle as a central striker.
