The 11 strikers Hibs could target before the transfer window closes to replace Christian Doidge

A list of strikers Hibs could potentially be looking to sign in the coming days.

Hibs are in dire need of another option in attack after injury ruled out Christian Doidge for up to four months.

Though both Martin Boyle and Jamie Murphy can play through the centre if required, both are preferred on the flanks, leaving last season’s leading goalscorer as the only recognised out-and-out striker with experience at the top-flight level.

There will likely be more options for young players to get a chance, like Jamie Gullan, but the Easter Road side will need to dip into the market to make sure the squad stays among the leading contenders for a third-place finish before Doidge returns in the new year.

So we’ve looked at the media reports and scoured the free agent market to see which players the club could look to add in order to supplement their attack.
