St Mirren assistant manager Diarmuid O'Carroll could not confirm the identity of those wanting Erhahon.

"I know there is firm interest from a number of clubs," he said.

"He deserves the interest that has come his way. From our point of view, he is a top talent."

Erhahon, who is contracted to St Mirren until May, came through the youth ranks in Paisley and has been a regular starter since having a loan spell with Barnsley's youth squad in 2020.

Asked if he thought the Scotland Under-21 cap would be sold during January, O'Carroll said: "There is nothing set in stone at the minute - you can see that by the fact he is playing for us.

"From a selfish point of view, as a team, you want your best players to stay, but obviously we have to understand where we are in the pecking order, budget-wise.

"We are a club where if people get life-changing offers and the club deems it an acceptable price then unfortunately players will leave."

Erhahon was also linked with League One promotion hopefuls Portsmouth, but their manager Danny Cowley has ruled out that prospect.

Doyle-Hayes is a former team-mate of Erhahon's at St Mirren, having signed in November 2020 after leaving Cheltenham but moving on the following summer for Easter Road.

The 23-year-old Irishman is under contract with Hibs until summer 2025, but he has not featured since September.

Hibs are currently eighth in the Scottish Premiership, two points and three places behind St Mirren, while Forest Green lie 22nd in England's third tier, two points away from relegation safety.

Forest Green last month signed former Hibernian and Sunderland midfielder Dylan McGeouch after he left Aberdeen.
