Momodou Bojang on 'brink' of Hibs exit but Marijan Cabraja transfer departure talk a no go

Marijan Cabraja is set to stay at Hibs but Momodou Bojang is heading for the exit door with his loan to be cut short next month, according to a report.

It had been suggested that the former Dinamo Zagreb defender could leave Easter Road but Lee Johnson is believed to see huge potential in the man who signed a three-year deal in the summer and if he gets his way he will be going nowhere.

The Hibees are set for a clear out with the boss needing to lose bodies from a bloated squad. Livingston have already snapped up Steven Bradley from the capital club and now he could be joined in leaving Edinburgh by Gambian striker Bojang - who joined on a season-long loan from Rainbow FC in the summer - report the Daily Record. He has failed to impress during his stint at HTC and is unlikely to be the only face to leave during the January transfer window. But Croatian defender Cabraja is not on that list despite transfer rumours over his future circulating.

Ryan Porteous - who is out of contract in the summer and has confirmed he won't be signing a new deal - is one who could be cashed in on with transfer interest high in the Scotland international. He is free to discuss pre-contact terms elsewhere come January 1.

Speaking earlier this month about the January window, Johnson said: “The first thing we need to do is trim the squad. We’ve far too many players at the club and far too many I don’t see as infiltrating the first team over the short to medium term. It can cause problems when you have an over-inflated squad because people want to play.”

Hibs returned from the Premiership shutdown last week as they lost out to Rangers in an Ibrox five-goal thriller. They took the lead twice in Govan but failed to record any points.

Livingston are next up at Easter Road on Christmas Eve before they welcome Celtic four days later. It's then the short trip across the city to face Hearts at Tynecastle on January 2.
