Hibernian is making significant moves in the summer transfer window as they close in on a deal for central defender Jason Kerr. The lifelong Hibs fan, who recently left Wigan Athletic after his contract expired, is currently in Edinburgh for negotiations with the club. Kerr is expected to undergo a medical today, and Hibernian anticipates finalizing the deal in the coming days. The club is prioritizing a centre-half to bolster their defense, especially with Rocky Bushiri sidelined due to a knee injury and Munashe Garananga returning to his parent club after his loan spell. Kerr, now 29, has been a long-term target for Hibernian, having been first linked to the club five years ago. He has a solid track record, making 150 appearances for Wigan and contributing to their League One title win. As Hibernian prepares for the upcoming season, they are also on the lookout for a centre forward and a central midfielder to enhance their squad. The club finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership last season and is gearing up for a return to the UEFA Conference League, with their first qualifying match set for July 23. The league fixtures for the new season will be released shortly, adding to the excitement surrounding Hibernian's summer activities.
