According to Sky Sports, Hibernian starlet Josh Doig has responded to rumours of interest from Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal.
The 18-year-old left-back came through the ranks at the Hearts academy before making the switch to the Hibs youth setup. Having risen through the age groups, Doig has broken into the first-team and made quite an impression.
In the ongoing campaign, the teenage left-back has featured 19 times in all competitions this term, registering two assists. His rapid rise up north in Scotland has led to interest from Chelsea, as well as our rivals Arsenal.
Doig, who was recently asked about the speculations, responded claiming that it was crazy, but at the same time insisted that it is good to see his hard work being recognised.
“It is crazy for me. It’s good to know the hard work I am putting in is giving me that attention from the big clubs. It’s good to see when you are working hard all these big names are showing interest.”
The Hibs left-back further added that he looked up to fellow Scotsmen Kieran Tierney and Andrew Robertson who have made a huge name for themselves in the Premier League and wants to emulate them.
“They are both absolutely flying at the moment. They are such an inspiration for young Scottish players, especially playing in my position. You can’t get any better than that. I try and base as much of my game on theirs as possible because they are doing something right.”
With Marcos Alonso out of favour, someone young and promising like Doig could be a good, long-term prospect for Chelsea. It remains to be seen if the Blues firm up on their interest in the teenager.
