Rangers insider David Edgar thrilled amid advanced update on Hannibal Mejbri
Rangers insider David Edgar has been left thrilled following the news that Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri is in advanced talks to sign a loan deal with the Gers.
According to AfricaFoot (July 25), the Light Blues are currently battling Copenhagen for the 21-year-old’s services, who is still undecided about his future.
Philippe Clement has made Hannibal his priority during this transfer window with negotiations already at an advanced stage between all parties.
Edgar took to X on Thursday (July 25) to react to the news, and writing via his Heart & Hand Podcast account, he said: “Would be pleased with this – talented, energetic, bit of dig too. Slight worry is he fell out with the manager at Sevilla almost instantly.”
Rangers close to securing Hannibal Mejbri
Rangers are on the brink of signing Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri, and it’s a smart move for the club.
The 21-year-old midfielder, with just a year left on his contract, needs a fresh start after a tough spell at Sevilla.
Despite his struggles, Hannibal has shown glimpses of his potential, particularly in a recent friendly against Rangers, catching the eye of Clement [Football 365, July 25].
A loan to Rangers could be exactly what Hannibal needs. The Scottish Premiership’s physical style suits his hard-working nature, and he could thrive in an environment where he’s given more responsibility.
For Rangers, this move could inject much-needed energy and creativity into their midfield, especially with the uncertainty surrounding players like Todd Cantwell.
Moreover, Clement’s confidence in Hannibal shows that he sees the young midfielder as a crucial part of his plans.
This mutual need makes the potential loan deal beneficial for both parties. If Hannibal can find his form, it could be a win-win situation, revitalising his career and helping Rangers in their quest to reclaim the league title from Celtic.
