  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Championship side unveiled their new signing on social media in a unique manner as they used they cleverly edited the video for British rock band Oasis' famous track 'Wonderwall' – capitalising on the news of the group's reunion tour. Burnley morphed the video with that of Mejbri playing the guitar and at the end of the clip they included the words, 'You're my Hannibal' replacing the original lyrics, 'You're my Wonderwall'.
