# Nabil Fekir’s move to Liverpool edges closer

Nabil Fekir looks set to complete a move to Liverpool this summer with the Premier League side looking to complete the deal when the new window opens, according to the [Daily Star.](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/701540/Liverpool-Lyon-Nabil-Fekir-Jurgen-Klopp)

The 24-year-old is set to join the Reds for a fee which is believed to be around £60 million.

Chelsea are also interested in a deal for the player, but it’s emerged that Jurgen Klopp’s side are the front runners to sign him, and they hope to complete the transfer before the World Cup.

Fekir has had an amazing season in France at Lyon, where he has netted a total of 20 goals in just 36 appearances.

Chelsea were keen to complete a deal for the French midfielder but it looks like they’ll need to turn their focus elsewhere as it’s looking like Fekir will be plying his trade at Anfield next season.
