Could Fekir be on his way to the Emirates?
Tuesday, May 1, 2018
Arsenal have reportedly increased their interest in signing Lyon winger Nabil Fekir, according to The Sun.
The French international has netted scoring 22 goals in 37 games for the Ligue 1 club so far this season and is rated at £50million.
Lyon-born Fekir is in line to be part of France’s World Cup squad this summer and has scored once so far in his ten caps for Les Bleus.
The 24-year-old can operate on the right wing or as an attacking midfielder, as well as up front.
Fekir’s adviser said earlier this year that the player hoped to join one of Europe’s top ten clubs in the near future.
Even though Arsene Wenger is ending his 22-year stay as Arsenal boss this summer, senior figures within the club hierarchy are understood to want the Lyon ace’s signature.
