Arsenal and West Ham urging Hibs to drop Doig price

Arsenal and West Ham United are urging Hibs to drop their price for Josh Doig.

The London Evening Standard says the two London rivals are among a number of clubs tracking Doig but they are not willing to meet Hibernian's asking price of up to £5million plus add-ons.

Watford are the only club to have entered into serious talks over a deal for the 19-year-old but their interest has cooled since signing Danny Rose on a free transfer.

West Ham boss David Moyes is keen to add depth to his squad at left-back, while Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is seeking more cover for Kieran Tierney after signing Nuno Tavares.

Both clubs, however, want Hibs to drop their asking price to around £2.5m if they are to follow up on their interest.
