- Genoa join Killen chase
Reports suggest Hibs striker Chris Killen could be playing for Italian side Genoa next season.
The 25-year-old New Zealand international is out of contract at the end of the season and seems certain to be heading out of Easter Road after rejecting the offer of a new one-year contract.
Killen's agent, Steve Hughes, told the Daily Record: "Genoa are genuinely interested in getting him.
"Italians like playing with a burly target man and they are monitoring Chris' situation.
"Two Premiership clubs, several Championship clubs, and teams in Denmark and Norway are also interested in the player."
Genoa hope to seal a return to Serie A by winning promotion this term - they are currently second in Serie B behind Juventus.
Killen has scored 19 goals in 32 appearances for John Collins' side since his transfer from Oldham in January 2006.
