Latest Hibees Transfer Rumour

Latest on the Transfer rumour front is that German Bundesliga side FC Nurnberg are lining up a move for Derek Riordan.

The Germans known as ‘Der Club’ are weighing up whether to swoop for the youngster after having him watched from the stands several times this season already.

Deek, last season's SPL Young Player of the Year is still contracted to Hibs till October, but he, unlike some of the other promising youngsters, can’t agree terms to extend his deal and Hibs are looking for some return from a laddie that has came through the ranks from the youth set up and is another of John Parks success stories.

There are a number of clubs believed to be monitoring Deek, with Anderlecht recently in the media allegedly showing an interest in the player.

Hibs are willing to listen to offers for Riordan and if FC Nurnberg meet the Edinburgh club's asking price and Deek fancies the move then a deal could be done.

Only time will tell though and if Deek does go then he goes with the blessing of all at Hibernian-mad and we wish him all the best for his future and a huge thank you for all the goals that he has put in the back of the net for the Hibees.
