Nabil Fekir Responds to Sugegstions His Entourage Caused Liverpool Move to Fall Through

Real Betis attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir has delivered a cryptic response to suggestions his entourage are at fault for the collapse of his move to Liverpool last summer, saying simply that he 'knows what happened' - and that the prevailing belief falls wide of the mark.

While at Lyon, Fekir was inches from joining the Reds, but the deal dramatically collapsed at the final hurdle, for reasons that were never clearly explained.

The belief at the time was that an underlying knee injury was uncovered, an explanation we were all content to accept and move on with our lives free from the shackles of 'Fekir to Liverpool' headlines every single morning.
