da bet7: As reported by The Daily Record, Hibernian are one of the teams interested in bringing Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman back to the Scottish Premiership next season.
What’s the story?
da lvbet: The 21-year-old goalkeeping prospect has already had two spells north of the border, featuring for both Kilmarnock and Aberdeen on loan over the past two seasons.
Now, after shining for England in the Toulon Tournament, he is set for another return to Scotland with a trio of ambitious teams looking to sign him up.
The Daily Record report that Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen are all interested in securing another loan for the player.
Rated at £450,000 by Transfermarkt, is he the kind of player that Neil Lennon should be looking at this summer?

Would he be a good signing?
With Cammy Bell departing the club to join Partick Thistle, Hibs are definitely on the look-out for a goalkeeper that can compete with and provide back up to established number one Ofir Marciano.
There are even rumblings that Marciano himself could be on his way out, with The Scottish Sun reporting last month that Israeli side Maccabi Tel-Aviv are interested in signing him in the transfer window.
Hibs need to ensure they aren’t caught out in the goalkeeping areas, leaving them with a lack of depth early in the summer.
Woodman would fit the bill having impressed for both Killie and Aberdeen on his previous trips over the border, helping keep 7 cleans sheets in 23 appearances between the two clubs.
He may not have the experience that usually comes with the position, but he’s clearly an excellent prospect who can give the Easter Road side the depth they need.
