Hibs have smashed their club record transfer fee to sign striker Thibault Klidjé.
The 24-year-old Togo international is joining from Swiss side Luzern on a three-year deal.
The previous record was £700,000 paid for Ulises de la Cruz over 20 years ago. It’s understood Hibs have paid £1million for Kildje making him the most expensive signing in Scotland outside of Celtic and Rangers since Paul Bernard joined Aberdeen in 1995.
Boss Davis Gray said: “We’re delighted to have attracted someone of Thibault’s quality to the Football Club.
“He adds extra pace and trickery to our front line and performed well for Luzern last season, and at 24 has a lot of room for development. We want to help him progress, and look forward to working with him moving forward.”
The striker previously played with French side Bordeaux.
Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “We have been tracking Thibault for a long period of time and are excited to have finally got our man.
“I would firstly like to thank the Gordon Family and our Board for showing this ambition and investment.
“It’s been our aim to continue to add top quality young strikers to our club and we have been given the chance to do that with Thibault.
“He is a young, driven, ambitious player who importantly wants to come and play for Hibs. We welcome him to Easter Road and look forward to him pulling on the strip.”
