Report: Arsenal and Newcastle United not willing to pay £44m for Nabil Fekir

According to Mundo Deportivo, Arsenal and Newcastle United are not willing to pay the transfer fee needed to sign Nabil Fekir from Real Betis in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Betis want as much as €50 million (£44.43 million) to sell the 26-year-old, who can operate an attacking midfielder or as a forward.

However, according to the Spanish news outlet, neither Arsenal nor Newcastle are willing to pay that kind of money for the former Lyon star, described as “a great player” by his French compatriot and Arsenal legend Robert Pires in The Mirror in July 2018.
