If you remember, we here at Hibernian-Mad reported, on the 18th May 2009, that the Hibees had possibly signed a new player, having talked to him outside Easter Road.
See the story at the following link:
We can now reveal that the mystery player's name is Youness Bengelloun!!
Our intrepid man on the scene, Brian Hine, got talking to the lad outside Easter Road after the Celtic game, as you can see we got his name pretty close!!!
Bengelloun told us that he had signed a deal with the Hibees for next season, and that he played in central defence.
We had a picture taken with the Hibernian-Mad youngsters and Bengelloun outside the West Stand, as you can see below:
Here he is in his PSG days.
Bengelloun is a 26-year-old French centre half, and has played for a number of clubs over his career.
He was with Cypriot side Olympiakos Nicosia last season, playing 23 games and scoring 2 goals.
Paris Saint-Germain, Panserraikos (Greece), Amiens SC (France) , Neuchâtel Xamax (Switzerland) and Deportivo Alavés (Spain) are also among his former clubs.
The question is -
Did Mixu sign the player before he quit the Easter Road hot-seat, or has the deal now fallen through???
