Nabil Fekir lifts lid on doomed Liverpool move in 2018 as former Lyon star DENIES that knee injury caused £53m deal to collapse, before sharing disappointment in not playing under 'good person' Jurgen Klopp

Nabil Fekir has lifted the lid on his failed Liverpool move in 2018 as the Real Betis star claimed that an issue with his agent, rather than a knee problem, caused the £53million move to collapse.

Fekir, 28, was strongly linked with an Anfield switch three years ago having impressed with former club Lyon.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was in the midst of transforming his field with the signings of Fabinho and Naby Keita, and Fekir was next on his wishlist.
