Simon seeks a new Pal?
Grayson on the trail of Icelandic midfielder.
Apparently resigned to losing Neil Kilkenny and Bradley Johnson, Simon Grayson will make a new friend in Hibs midfielder Victor Palsson - according to Sky Sports News.
The 20-year-old Icelander only moved to Edinburgh in the transfer window last January, but a return to the south might be on the cards with Leeds and Southampton apparently after his signature.
Leeds are expected to bolster their midfield. Last week Ken Bates admitted it was likely the club would lose Aussie play-maker Kilkenny. The same source today report that West Brom is a likely destination for fellow contract rebel Bradley Johnson.
The club as ever remain tight-lipped on this latest round of speculation. With Grayson recently lamenting lack of experience in his squad it seems very unlikely an unknown midfielder who didn;t make it in England will be on his shopping list.
