Everton enter the race to sign Man United starlet Hannibal Mejbri on loan

Everton are rivalling Sevilla to take Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri on loan.

The Tunisia international had indicated he wanted to join Sevilla once given clearance by United manager Erik ten Hag, but Premier League rivals Everton have also made an approach.

The 20-year-old asked not to be selected by Tunisia for the Africa Cup of Nations as he focuses on his next move.

Lyon and Freiburg have also made enquiries for Mejbri, who is due to extend his United contract by another season before a loan is agreed.

The midfielder has been on the books at Man United since 2019, having made his senior debut for United in a 2-1 victory against Wolves at Molineux back in 2021.

United originally acquired Mejbri, who has been capped 27 times for the Tunisian national side, from Monaco in a £9.3million deal.

This season, he's made 10 appearances across all competitions for United, scoring once during their 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford against Brighton, his first goal for the senior side.

Sevilla also want to sign forward David Datro Fofana on loan from Chelsea.

The 21-year-old, who's contract with Chelsea is set to expire in 2029, spent the first half of the season on loan at Union Berlin but will now be recalled from the Bundesliga side.

Fofana failed to secure regular game time at Chelsea after he was signed by the club for £8m back in 2022, making just four appearances for Chelsea.

During his time at Union Berlin, he has returned two goals across 17 appearances for the club in all competitions.

Villarreal, PSV Eindhoven and Flamengo are interested in United winger Facundo Pellistri, while talks are ongoing with Borussia Dortmund to loan out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho with no option to buy.
