Brentford and reportedly interested in signing Hibs striker Florian Kamberi.

Colleagues at the Daily Record report that the London club are considering a move for the Easter Road front man should they sell Neal Maupay and Olly Watkins for good money and need replacements.

Swansea and Middlesbrough are also credited with an interest in the Swiss, along with Portsmouth.

Kamberi scored 13 goals last season but came in for public criticism from previous boss Neil Lennon over his performance levels and goal return compared to the previous year, when he was on loan from Grasshopper.

His previous club are understood to be entitled to a percentage of any fee as part of the agreement to bring Kamberi to Hibs permanently last summer.

He picked up somewhat under Paul Heckingbottom, who paired him with Marc McNulty up top or played him wide left of a three rather than up on his own.

It is thought Hibs will ask for around £2m from any interested parties for the striker, although whether that valuation is in line with what Brentford would be willing to pay remains to be seen.

Hibs aren’t blessed with a plethora of out and out strikers, although Heckingbottom is pleased with his attacking options at the moment, in which he included the likes of Martin Boyle and Daryl Horgan when explaining why South African striker Ryan Moon wasn’t offered a deal following his recent trial.

“He was up against good competition," he said. "In the forward area we have Fraser [Murray], Boyler, Daryl, Joe [Newell], Scott [Allan], Oli [Shaw], Flo and Christian [Doidge],” he explained. “That’s eight good players. But we saw enough on video in terms of his attributes - athletic, good in the air and a really good lad.

“We wanted to give him an opportunity but when we have that competition already in the building there’s no point bringing in someone as backup or who won’t improve the XI.”
