John McGinn has been linked with moves away from Hibernian.
Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers, Elland Road outfit Leeds United and Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic are just a few of the clubs reported to want John McGinn, who is also claimed to be of interest to Sunderland, West Ham United and Aston Villa.
Ibrox club Rangers, Celtic and Leeds want the Hibernian midfielder, according to The Scottish Sun, which also claims that the 23-year-old is valued at £5 million.
Sunderland, who will play in League One next season, are interested in McGinn, according to The Scottish Sun, with The Daily Record claiming that Aston Villa and West Ham want him.
Hibernian chief executive Leeann Dempster has admitted that the Scottish Premiership club could sell McGinn in the summer transfer window at the right price.
Dempster told Sky Sports about McGinn: “We don’t live and die by transfer fees. If we were to receive a transfer fee for a player of some significance, of course that would be welcome.
“That is balanced by the impact it would have on the team. John’s a magnificent young player. I would be very surprised if we’re not tested by a number of clubs.”
Departure likely?
McGinn is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership, and with so many clubs (reportedly) interested in the 23-year-old, it does look likely that the Scotland international will leave Hibernian this summer.
Rangers and Leeds should seriously consider making a move and move ahead of the rest of the chasing pack.
Both the Gers and the Whites could do a player of the 23-year-old’s quality in their midfield.
