Birmingham City manager John Eustace has hailed Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri after his performance against West Brom.

Mejbri scored one and created another in the Blues win.

Eustace said: "Hanni was awesome.

"His energy and all-round performance was different class.

"He's a 20-year-old boy on his first loan, so you're going to get dips in form and tired legs, but tonight he was back at his best.

"He was instrumental last week too [during the 4-3 win against Swansea City].

"You've got to take the highs and the lows and tonight he was unplayable."

The Blues boss also revealed that he would like to sign Hannibal permantely but did admit that a move would be unlikely.

He added: "Listen, if you've got 20 million I might be able to. It's out of my control.

"I think it's very evident all the players we have at our club, nobody plays like they're a loan player.

"We've got a very tight dressing room in there and it's like a family in there.

"Everyone gets on very well and everyone is very coachable. We've got no egos nor any big-time Charlie's."
