Last updated : 27 July 2024 By Steve Forbes

Hibs are tonight being linked with Toronto FC attacker Cassius Mailula.

According to Sahil Ebrahim of massively respected website Transfermarkt, the Hibees are keen on the 23-year-old.

The South African international is under contract with the MLS side until 2026, and cost them a reported 1.5m Euros, about £1.2m when he signed from Sundowns in his homeland in 2023.

Mailula is mostly a right winger, but can play both wings and can also play as a striker or an attacking midfielder and he has a good record.

He played 31 times for Sundowns and scored 15 times, and adding 4 assists before he moved to the MLS.

Toronto have mostly used him as an impact sub, he has played 8 times, scoring 2 goals with 1 assist.

It's no secret that Head Coach David Gray is keen to bolster his attacking options, and it seems Mailula is on his shortlist.

HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW

 

He has an impressive goals to games ratio on his record, especially with Sundowns.

What's not clear is if the move is permanent or a loan?

A permanent move could be a coup for Hibs, as he clearly has potential, and at 23, possible sell-on value.

We wait to see if the rumour is true......
