Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp MEETS Nabil Fekir as Chelsea miss out - huge claim
JURGEN KLOPP has already met Liverpool transfer target Nabil Fekir, according to reports in France.
Nabil Fekir is reportedly on his way to Liverpool this summer
The Lyon playmaker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.
Arsenal missed out on Fekir in January, opting instead to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
And now with the summer transfer window fast approaching, it appears Liverpool have beaten the Gunners to the 24-year-old's signature.
According to French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, who works for Canal Plus, Fekir has already met with Klopp ahead of a €70m (£61m) transfer.
The journalist reported via Twitter on Friday that the deal had been agreed.
Nabil Fekir was linked with Arsenal back in January
And in a shock twist, Collet-Gaudin explained Chelsea had also expressed their interest.
However, the Blues failed in their attempts to capture Fekir.
Collet-Gaudin tweeted: “#Fekir met #Klopp, very good contacts between them.
“Fekir will sign at #Liverpool 70m € unless unforeseen. #Chelsea also tried his luck, without success.”
Lyon insist the midfielder is happy at the Ligue 1 outfit.
And speaking earlier this week, Fekir himself admitted he wasn't looking to leave this summer.
Romain Collet-Gaudin claims Nabil Fekir to Liverpool is done
"We discussed some things after [CSKA] Moscow [knocked Lyon out of the Europa League in March] and managed to straighten things out," he said.
"I am still in Lyon. We still have two games left [this season].
"I am good here.
"This club is in my heart."
