Runar Hauge set for Hibs transfer as Shaun Maloney lines up second raid on Bodo/Glimt

Hibs boss Shaun Maloney is lining up a second raid on Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt, according to reports in Norway.

The rookie manager has been busy in the January window with £300k youngster Elias Melkersen arriving earlier this month, though he's yet to make his Easter Road debut.

That's down to work permit complications but meanwhile the Hibees are pushing through the signing of wide man Runar Hauge from the same club.

He's brother of AC Milan and Eintracht Frankfurt star Jens Petter Hauge - also a Glimt graduate - and Runar's agent has confirmed to outlet TV2 that his client is about to be the latest member of an exodus of stars from the Arctic Circle side.

It's believed Hibs are his destination.

Like Melkersen, Hauge was loaned out to a second-tier club last season and the 20-year-old winger notched three goals in 25 appearances for Stjordals-Blink.

According to TV2 he was contracted to Bodo for the coming season - but instead will arrive in Scotland "in a few days".

Hauge would become the club's sixth January signing after Melkersen, Harry Clarke, Ewan Henderson, Rocky Bushiri and Demitri Mitchell.
