# Chelsea ready to rival Liverpool for Nabil Fekir

Chelsea will reportedly rival Liverpool in their pursuit of Nabil Fekir this summer.

According to claims from L’Equipe, as cited by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/lione-c-e-anche-l-atletico-madrid-su-fekir-23754), the Blues are among a host of clubs to have expressed an interest in signing the Lyon star.

It’s claimed that Liverpool’s negotiations to sign Fekir from the Ligue 1 outfit are not at an advanced stage just yet, but it appears as though there is plenty of Premier League interest in the 24-year-old ahead of the summer.

Fekir is enjoying an excellent season in his homeland of France and has established himself as a talismanic figure for Lyon in the recent couple of seasons.

The playmaker is a coveted asset for Lyon and they will undoubtedly be desperate to retain his services. However, a move to the Premier League could prove to be a lucrative proposition for the player, who is yet to play for an English club.
