Definitely Mejbri
Fans are hailing Burnley’s Oasis-inspired player announcement as the ‘greatest ever’.
The video comes after Hannibal Mejbri made the switch from Manchester United to Burnley on a permanent transfer, announced officially this morning.
Burnley have paid £5.4m for the midfielder known for his passionate displays with add-ons of up to £4m as well as 50% sell-on clause.
In order to announce the 21-year-old signing on a four-year deal, The Clarets shelled out on some extra creativity and production for the Tunisian.
In keeping with current trends, the club hoped on the Oasis crazy train getting their new man to perform his own lyrics of the Manchester band’s iconic song ‘Wonderwall’.
Watch the announcement below:
The video has since gone viral on social media with fans hailing it as the greatest player announcement of all time.
One user said: “This is the best announcement of all time ngl, go shine Mejibri.”
Another person put: “Oi nah this announcements class.”
Meanwhile another user wrote: “This is creativity at its finest.”
Hannibal is no stranger to a unique announcement video, having already starred in a parody of Hannibal Lecter after signing for Birmingham City on loan in 2022.
Whatever you think of the player’s musical talents, he should prove to be a good addition on the pitch to a team that has seen a lot of outgoings.
Burnley have already let go Zeki Amdouni, Sander Berge and Wout Weghorst just to name a handful leaving the club’s season in slight doubt.
