The Bees are set to sell star striker Ivan Toney this summer, who has scored 30 goals in his first season at Brentford, the club secure in their promotion play-off place. He is poised to make a move to a current Premier League team, with West Ham one of the clubs said to be keen on the forward.
But there could be a domino effect for Hibs, with Nisbet now being tracked by Brentford as a potential replacement. The Easter Road club knocked back a seven-figure bid upwards of £2.5 million for Nisbet from Birmingham City in the winter transfer window and Brentford would need to offer similar money to force a move.
