Kevin Nisbet has decided AGAINST a move to Millwall according to reports in a huge twist in the striker's future.
The Hibs forward looked set to leave Easter Road in a swoop to the English Championship worth around £2m with Lee Johnson all but consigning himself to losing the star man in this window. But stunningly according to reports from London News Online the deal is now OFF even though terms had been agreed with the Scotland cap.
Nisbet had completed a medical in London over a proposed move but the striker reportedly made a last-minute U-turn and won't be joining the side in this window. But the 25-year-old wants to focus on Hibs.

A spokesperson for the frontman's representatives, Quanic Sports, said: "Kevin has thought long and hard about this move but remains unsure about making it right now. He’d rather focus on Hibs for the time being."
Johnson told Sky Sports on Friday: “Neither transfer is done but they are not here in the building. I couldn’t give you an answer at 12:30 on a Friday if they will be available for selection.
“They will be a big loss given they are two quality players under very different circumstances in each transfer. Sometimes it’s difficult to stand in the guys’ ways. In the case of Nisbet we end up commanding a very strong fee that we could reinvest.”
