Journalist Suggests Liverpool Are Finally Closing in on French World Cup Star After Long Pursuit

A journalist has suggested that Liverpool could finally be close to a deal for Lyon forward Nabil Fekir, after one of the most protracted and complicated transfer sagas of the year.

Dean Jones, the football insider for the Bleacher Report, tweeted the following:

Fekir was on the verge of moving to Anfield earlier this year, only for his medical to reveal a worrying knee issue which caused the £53m deal to collapse. However, it now seems that the deal could be back on, as was recently suggested by Sky Sports veteran Martin Tyler.
