Hibernian fans have taken to Twitter to react after hearing that Arsenal are sniffing around their teenage prodigy Josh Doig.
According to Goal, Arsenal are targeting the 18-year-old along with Celtic, Leeds and Manchester City.
Doig is also attracting interest from Chelsea, as a result of his fine performances up in Scotland.
Goal say that the left-back will command a fee of £1 million if he leaves the Scottish Premiership.
So far this season, the Edinburgh-born defender has made 19 appearances in all competitions for Hibs, recording two assists in those outings.
Judging by some Hibernian supporters’ reaction to the news, a move might be premature for the precocious talent.
One fan said that it’s ‘too soon’ while another added that it’s ‘way too early’ for Doig to be making such a move.
While that might concern Arsenal supporters, they needn’t worry.
It’s unlikely that Doig will be ousting Kieran Tierney from the left-back role anytime soon, so the Gunners are potentially just eyeing the Hibs prodigy as a future first-teamer.
There would be no harm in securing his signature, before loaning him back to Hibs or elsewhere, so he can continue his development.
