The Easter Road club knocked back the original offer, thought to be in the region of £2m, but after successfully signing Sam Cosgrove from Aberdeen, Birmingham manager Aitor Karanka made it clear that Nisbet remained high on his list of targets and The Blues have now increased their bid for the promising young star who has netted 13 goals in 30 appearances since his summer signing from Dunfermline.
With the transfer window due to close on Monday night, and little time left to recruit a replacement, Hibs now have to decide if the financial return outweighs the value of their top scorer to their ongoing battle to secure a European place and finish as high up the Premiership table as possible.
