Teden Mengi is a 24-year-old English defender who had a previous loan spell at Birmingham City during the 2021/22 season. It is suggested that Mengi is a potential signing for the club if John Murtough becomes their new director of football. After returning to Manchester United from his loan, which was affected by a recurring hamstring injury, Mengi signed for Luton Town in 2023. He played in the top flight with Luton and is now in League One following their relegation. It was reportedly the case that the defender was close to leaving Luton over the summer, but a move did not happen. It is also reported that Mengi wants to leave the club, which could make a theoretical deal possible. Mengi has been capped three times by England at U21 level and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m. Torino have also been linked with the player.
