Hannibal Mejbri, a promising talent from Manchester United, might soon be making headlines as Leeds United eyes his acquisition. Although Mejbri, who transferred from Monaco to Old Trafford in 2019, has shown flashes of brilliance, his opportunities with the first team have been sparse. Last season, he featured in only ten senior matches before being loaned out. His loan stint in La Liga, however, was less successful, with just six appearances before he returned to Manchester.
Mejbri’s previous loan spell at Birmingham City during the 2022/23 season was much more impressive. He made 38 appearances in the Championship and scored during his time there. Despite a fiery temperament, evidenced by ten yellow cards during that period, his energetic playing style could be beneficial to Leeds United, especially under the management of Daniel Farke.
Farke is currently managing a midfield that has been thinned out following the departures of Archie Gray and Glen Kamara. With only Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev available as central midfielders and Joe Rothwell joining on loan from Bournemouth, the team could certainly use additional depth. Mejbri, at just 21, boasts 26 international caps for Tunisia, and his experience could be a valuable addition to Leeds’ squad.
As Leeds United looks to bolster their ranks, the club is reportedly making moves in the transfer market, aiming to secure multiple signings before the deadline. The potential arrival of Mejbri is just one of several developments as the team prepares for the season ahead. For the latest updates and transfer news, keep an eye on our coverage.
