Blinksportsnews247According to Mail Online, Everton is expected to compete with La Liga side Sevilla for the loan signing of Hannibal Mejbri, a potential player for Manchester United.
The young player is expected to extend his contract at Old Trafford before joining the team on loan, according to a report published by the newspaper on its website on January 7. The Toffees are trying to defeat the reigning Europa League champions.
The 20-year-old is believed to have previously approved a loan move to Spain, although the Merseyside club is coming to the signing of the Tunisian international somewhat belatedly.
After reportedly leaving Monaco for the Red Devils in 2019 for a whopping £9.3 million, Mjebri has only made 12 senior appearances.
Erik ten Hag called Mejbri “perfect” during Man United’s 1-0 victory over Burnley in September. With only 417 minutes played so far this season, Mejbri will be looking to acquire some much-needed playing time.
When given the chance by ten Hag this season, the Tunisian international has shown himself on the field. Everton will be hoping to gain from his season-long loan at Birmingham City, which was crucial to his development during the previous campaign.Mejbri, who made his debut for Tunisia in 2021 at the age of 18, also has 26 caps at the international level.
If the Toffees are going to steal Mejbri from Sevilla, they will have to bring in a very versatile player on loan. However, Mejbri’s behavior will need to be watched, as he has an incredible record of 15 yellow cards in 41 Under 21 appearances, 11 yellow cards in 41 Birmingham appearances, and 5 cautions in 12 Man United appearances.
Sean Dyche should be wary of his impetuous challenges and eagerness to participate, even though he hasn’t received any red cards at the senior level yet. On the other hand, as teammates usually catch on to one other’s energy on the field, this could be considered as a plus.
Given Dyche’s recent struggles in the midfield and Everton’s goal of avoiding Premier League relegation, Mejbri would be a wise addition to help the squad turn things around after four games without a victory.
