Club career

Mehmeti played for Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur as a schoolboy, before joining Norwich City in 2017. In 2019, Mehmeti signed a contract extension with Norwich until 2020.[2] In November 2019, Mehmeti joined Essex Senior League side Woodford Town,[3] until March when the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 29 September 2020, Mehmeti joined EFL Championship side Wycombe Wanderers following the introduction of a 'B Team' programme at the club.[4] He made his professional debut on 17 October 2020, appearing as a 79th-minute substitute during a 2–1 loss to Millwall.[5][6] He scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 draw against Queens Park Rangers on 19 December 2020.[7] On 30 November 2021 he signed a new contract keeping him at Wycombe Wanderers until June 2024.[8]

On 31 January 2023, Mehmeti signed for Championship club Bristol City on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[9] The fee, although undisclosed, was a club-record fee received for Wycombe.[10]

International career

On 25 May 2021, Mehmeti earned his first call-up to the Albania national under-21 football team for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Andorra under-21s on 4 June 2021 and a friendly match against Bulgaria under-21s on 8 June 2021,[11] eventually making his debut and scoring his first goal in the first of those games.[12]
