Hibernian are closely monitoring the transfer market as Premiership rivals Celtic, Rangers, and Hearts make significant moves ahead of the new season. With the club currently sitting 5th in the league with 51 points from 33 games, including a recent 0-1 loss to Motherwell, the focus is on strengthening the squad for the upcoming campaign.
What’s Happening in the Transfer Market?
Celtic are on the verge of sealing a £4m deal for German midfielder Mika Baur from Paderborn, while Rangers are expected to announce the signing of Partizan captain Vanja Dragojevic. Hearts have agreed a £500k deal for Laurent Mendy, who is set to undergo a medical this week. Hibernian, meanwhile, are yet to make any major announcements but are likely to be active in the coming days.
Why It Matters for Hibernian
With the title race heating up and Heart of Midlothian leading by 19 points, Hibernian will need to make strategic signings to close the gap. Their recent form of 3 wins, 0 draws, and 2 losses in the last five games shows they are capable of competing but need reinforcements. The next fixture against league leaders Hearts on September 2nd will be a crucial test.
What Comes Next?
As the transfer window progresses, Hibernian fans will be watching closely for any developments. The club’s ability to bring in key players could determine their success in the upcoming season, especially as they look to improve on their current 5th-place standing with a +14 goal difference.
