Former Carlisle United loan star Dynel Simeu is in line for a deadline-day move, according to reports.
The Southampton defender is being linked with a loan switch to Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
The Evening Standard report that Simeu, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Blues, is poised to move to Edinburgh.

The 20-year-old had been linked with a summer return to Brunton Park but Carlisle boss Paul Simpson last month cooled talk of a second spell with the Blues.
Simeu made 18 appearances for the Cumbrians last season.
He became a hugely popular figure with fans through his improved defensive performances and exuberant celebrations.
Now the ex-Chelsea prospect could get his chance in the Scottish Premiership with Hibs, who are also being linked with Swindon Town's former Carlisle striker Harry McKirdy.
