HIBS have reached an agreement with Al-Faisaly for the transfer for Martin Boyle.
The Australian international is set for a sensational return to Easter Road.
The 29-year-old winger departed the Edinburgh side in January as he swapped the Scottish Premiership for the mega riches for Saudi Arabia.
In recent weeks it's become clear that the attacker has been keen to return to Scotland.
Now, this morning, it has been confirmed that he return to Hibs is edging nearer.
We can confirm that Hibernian FC has come to an agreement with Al-Faisaly FC for the transfer of @MartinBoyle9.

A statement from Al Faisaly on Saturday morning confirmed a deal had been struck.
It reads: "The club's management has agreed to an offer from Scottish club Hibernian on the transfer of Australian first-team player Martin Boyle, wishing him more success."
Hibs followed that up with their own short statement. It said: "We can confirm that Hibernian have come to an agreement with Al-Faisaly for the transfer of Martin Boyle."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
