The suitors are circling for Hibernian's prize asset Kieron Bowie, with the club rejecting a bid from Verona for the 23-year-old striker.

Bowie, who is under contract until summer 2028, is also reportedly a target for Celtic among other clubs this month.

Former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan believes Bowie is not prolific enough yet for the Parkhead club - and that the striker will be keen to "push through" a switch to Verona.

If Bowie made that move, he would join fellow Scotland internationals Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Josh Doig in Serie A.

"He's coachable for them and he has the attributes probably to go there and play where it is a physical league," Sheridan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"It's tough and demanding. I think at the minute his attributes are his physicality.

"I don't think he's quite there to go and be a Celtic striker now. I don't think he's probably at that prolific stage.

"Verona probably see him as another Scottish player that they can take over to Italy that can be successful.

"Then it's just a case of what Hibs are valuing him at now, and they're probably in a better position than they would have been in previous years where they don't need to sell for that figure.

"If they really value him they can probably hold out for a little bit more.

"It's probably a move that he'd be looking to go for. If it was me, I'm the one person who will always pick going abroad. But I think from his point of view as well, it's probably a move that he'd be looking to push through as well."
