Former Hibernian forward Tam McManus has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Jason Cummings’s departure from Hibernian.
According to the report from BBC Sport, Nottingham Forest have signed the Hibernian forward for an undisclosed fee on a three year deal.
Although the clubs have not revealed the details of the transfer fee, Nottingham Post reports that it is a seven-figure fee.
The 21-year-old striker has scored 23 goals in 39 appearances last season, and helped the Hibs to the Scottish Championship title.
Nonetheless, his signing represents a gamble, as he has never played in the Championship before.
McManus believes that Hibs have done a great business by selling the young forward for a fee around £1.5 million.
Additionally, it is a big jump for the player, he said, and remains unconvinced whether he will be a success in England.
Cummings, who signed a four-year contract with the Hibs last July, also helped them lift the Scottish Cup in 2016.
The Scotland U-21 international joined Hibs in 2013 and has scored 69 goals in 148 matches in all competitions.
