The Scottish Premiership transfer window has been open for a number of weeks now, but the rumours continue to swirl around a number of country’s top clubs - and Hibs are no different.
Due to take part in the Europa League qualifiers this season, head coach David Gray has already started adding to his squad, with the additions of Jamie McGrath, Josh Mulligan and record signing Thibault Klidje taking the Easter Road headlines this summer.
Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller have had their contracts extended by a further year, while key defender Rocky Bushiri has committed his future to the club for a further three years. The incomings are unlikely to finish there though, with Hibs weigh up some further additions as they aim for another top three finish.
But what will Gray’s starting XI look like when the new domestic season gets under way on August 3 against Dundee at Den’s Park, if the recent transfer rumours are true?
Here, The Scotsman assess what Hibs dream team would look like, if the recent transfer rumours are accurate - which can never be assured, with multiple twists and turns expected in the summer transfer window.
5. RWB: Josh Mulligan
One of Hibs' most impressive summer signings, Mulligan fits perfectly into the right-wing back role, with Chris Cadden offering competition to the former Dundee man. | SNS Group
6. CM: Dylan Levitt
Faces competition from January buy Alasana Manneh, however, the Welsh midfielder had a strong end to the campaign, and will hope to be in David Gray's starting XI come August 3. | SNS Group
7. CM: Nectar Triantis
The quest to bring the Aussie midfielder back to Easter Road is proving to be one that requires some amount of patience, with parent club Sunderland wanting to give the youngster a chance in pre-season. Should he be made available though, Hibs surely stand a good chance of bringing him back to the capital. | SNS Group
8. LWB: Nicky Cadden
Edges just ahead of Jordan Obita in the left-wing back role after his excellent debut season with the club. Was touted for a Scotland call-up before injury hit earlier in the year, and will hope to continue to impress at Easter Road. | SNS Group
