MILLWALL are back in the hunt for Kevin Nisbet.

The Lions had agreed a club record deal for the Hibernian striker in January before the striker pulled out of the move.

But now a report in the Scottish Sun has said that Lions are once again looking to complete a deal for the 25 year old striker.

However, the Lions are not the only side showing interest. Blackburn Rovers, who beat Millwall on the final day but also missed out on a place in the Championship play-offs are said to be keen alongside Turkish giants Galatasaray who sent scouts to watch the Scottish international in the final weeks of the season.

Nisbet confirmed that it was the timing of the deal that prevented him from making the move to South London rather than it being an issue with either club.

“Sometimes you just get a feeling that it isn’t the right time to go.

“It was more about me, not anything to do with Millwall or Hibs or anything.

“It was more down to me and how I was feeling at the time. Millwall understood that.”

There were concerns over the striker’s fitness after he suffered an ACL injury but he saw the season out comfortably with the Edinburgh side.

The report suggests that the Lions have already been in contact with Hibs as and that they are confident of getting the deal done.

Gary Rowett’s side were short of goals last season, Tom Bradshaw and Zian Flemming both reached double figures but Charlie Cresswell was the next top scorer with four goals.
