HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW:
This boy looks a serious talent!!
It's good to see Hibs bringing in an exciting youngster, but one with a load of experience on top of it, too mant times we have signed youngsters on loan from down South, with very little to no experience and the Scottish Premiership has eaten them alive.
This lad seems different, Champions League and English Premiership experience - he has been involved in 3 of Spurs last 7 games.
Welcome to the Hibees Dane!!
