Rangers are in a two-way race with FC Copenhagen to sign Manchester United academy star Hannibal Mejbri, according to reports. Philippe Clement got a closer look at the midfielder during United’s match against Rangers at Murrayfield last week, where the Tunisian international played the second half.

Rangers are already nearing a loan deal with Wolfsburg for winger Vaclav Cerny and have been linked with Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan. Hannibal spent the latter half of last season on loan at Sevilla, making six appearances in La Liga. Though Sevilla had an option to buy him for £17 million, they did not take it up. Erik ten Hag is keen to move several players on this summer, including Hannibal, despite interest from Scotland in Scott McTominay.

Reports indicate that Clement has made Hannibal a priority, though the player is not keen on a move to Denmark. Rangers hope their proximity to England will work in their favor. With Hannibal’s contract running until next year, Rangers aim to free up funds and squad space, expecting exits from Connor Goldson, Todd Cantwell, and James Tavernier.

Here is the skill highlight video of Hannibal.
