According to reports coming out of Israel tonight, Hibs are on the verge of signing Israel no1 Ofir Marciano.
Walla Sports in Israel suggest that the player is on his way to Edinburgh to sign a 1 year loan deal from Ashod in his homeland.
The 26-year-old spent last season out on loan with Royal Excel Mouscron of Belgium.
Marciano has the same agent as Celtic midfielder Nir Biton, and Walla seem to suggest that this is what lead to the deal.
6ft 4in Marciano fits the bill of the experienced keeper that Neil Lennon is on the look out for, having played nearly 200 games for Ashod.
Hibs had been linked with Irish goalkeepr Brian Murphy in this mornings tabloids, but it seems Lennon has shifted his focus to the 10 times capped player.
