9 free agents Hibs could potentially sign this summer transfer window
New manager Lee Johnson has arrived and, after finishing eighth in the cinch Premiership last term, it’s a squad in need of serious work.
Several players are expected to leave Leith with the likes of Sylvester Jasper, Scott Allan, Rocky Bushiri and Drey Wright already confirmed to be moving on.
There are injury concerns in the forward areas, while the defence has a number of players over the age of 30.
David Marshall and Nohan Kenneh have already been signed, but many more are expected to follow. Though Hibs have shown in the past, most notably with Kevin Nisbet and Christian Doidge, they’re willing to pay transfer fees, the majority will arrive on freedom of contract.
We look at a few players Hibs could try to tempt to the Capital...

5. Conor McGrandles (Lincoln City)
It has already been announced the former Falkirk ace will be leaving League One Lincoln City when his contract expires. A player who, despite having a lot of height at his position, possesses strong technical ability and passing skills. Photo: Mike Hewitt
6. Andre Wisdom (Unattached)
Another option for the right side of defence, Wisdom can operate at right back, right centre-back and wing-back. He hasn't played for a year since leaving Derby County but was training with Birmingham City earlier this year. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
7. Brandon Barker (Reading)

8. Steven Fletcher (Stoke City)
The former Easter Road favourite still played regularly in the English Championship last season at the age of 35. If he's willing to accept a big wage cut to come home he could represent an experienced option to take the pressure off Kevin Nisbet if Christian Doidge can't rediscover his form.
