English Championship side Millwill have launched a seven-figure bid to prise Kevin Nisbet away from Hibernian. The Cambuslang man has been the subject of interest from down south over the past two seasons - including a failed move to Birmingham City in January 2021 after he handed in a transfer request - and it is being reported the Lions are offering a deal worth over £1m to take him to London by the end of the month.
A deal is said to be "close" to being struck and conversations with the Hibs board are ongoing.Nisbet has returned from a lengthy injury lay-off but he has picked up where he left off by bagging seven goals in seven games for the Hibees, and that has reignited interest in securing his services.The 25-year-old suffered a nasty ACL injury in February last year against Celtic and it has been a long road to recovery for the Scotland international, who joined Hibs from Dunfermline Athletic in July 2020.Nisbet scored a hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Motherwell earlier this month after making his return to action on December 15, netting in a 3-2 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.
He has also found the target in the 4-0 win over Livingston on Christmas Eve and bagged a brace in the 2-2 draw with Dundee United on January 14.With 18 months left on his deal at Easter Road, the Hibs heirarchy will have a big decision to make with the former Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle man keen to test himself down south.Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
