The Scotland and Edinburgh back, initially eyed by Toulon for the upcoming season, has become a prime acquisition for Toulouse following Melvyn Jaminet’s unexpected mid-season transfer and Romain Ntamack’s injury woes.
As per the report, Kinghorn is poised to complete the current season with Toulouse and is anticipated to ink a substantial long-term deal with the prestigious Top 14 club.
Kinghorn then made history in 2019 when he scored Scotland’s first Six Nations hat-trick since 1989 in the 33-20 victory over Italy. Kinghorn signed a contract extension keeping him in the capital until at least 2021.
The fullback’s impressive form continued in 2019-20 where he continued to make his mark in European competition.
Kinghorn crossed the whitewash at home against Bordeaux-Bègles and Wasps, making him the club’s top try scorer of all time in Challenge Cup competition.
The rangy full-back penned a new deal with the club in January 2021, taking him beyond his fifth season in the Scottish capital.
