Earlier on Friday, The Herald reported that Danny Rohl’s side has asked the forward’s representatives to keep themselves in the loop regarding any transfer moves for the 23-year-old.
Hibs is said to be expecting a transfer fee of approximately £6.5m for the forward, but interest from English Championship clubs is also believed to be escalating.
David Gray, speaking ahead of Hibs’ Scottish Premiership clash against Motherwell on Saturday, denied having any knowledge of potential interest in Bowie. He said: “No, I think naturally, again with the window being open, that’s speculation that will always be there.
“It’s a sign of the football club doing well, it’s a sign that your players are playing well, your teammates, that it helps you get into these positions.”
Bowie has put in impressive performances this season, scoring eight goals in 27 matches for the Edinburgh side. Since joining Hibs from Fulham in 2024, he has made a total of 49 appearances for the club, netting 14 goals in the process.
Despite his commendable performances, he has yet to make a senior debut for Scotland, although he was called up by Steve Clarke. Having scored three times in 11 outings for Scot Gemmell’s U21 set-up, Bowie continues to show immense potential.
He further added, “And for any player that gets speculation around them, there’s nothing you can do about that. It means you’re doing something right.
“I think that’s something that’s great to have, as long as you remember why that’s come. It’s come because you’re playing well, you’re working hard, you’re part of a successful team.
“And I don’t expect that speculation to go away.”
