Nabil Fekir to Liverpool: Agent to finalise details of move Sunday - huge claim
NABIL FEKIR’S prospective move to Liverpool is said to be edging ever closer.
Jurgen Klopp is eager to bolster his squad following a promising season which saw Liverpool reach the Champions League final.
Although deals have been wrapped up for Fabinho and Naby Keita, the German tactician is eager to land another midfielder with Emre Can heading to Juventus.
Lyon star Fekir lit up Ligue 1 last season with his displays and Klopp is interested in securing a transfer.
And according to French football journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, who works for Eurosport and Canal Plus, a move to sign Fekir appears to be in the pipeline.
He tweeted: “#Fekir and his agent Jean-Pierre #Bernes should be in #Liverpool this Sunday to settle the final details of the transfer of the French international.

If all goes well, medical visit in stride
“If all goes well, medical visit in stride! #LFC.”
Last week, Anfield legend Jan Molby suggested his old club will try and clinch a deal for Fekir before the World Cup.
He said: “There'll be more business to come, and Nabil Fekir is clearly a player they want and will hope to tie up a deal before the World Cup.
"Fekir is very much in line with the attacking players we have at the club, at being able to handle the ball at a high tempo and play at a high tempo, being cute and with a sharp mind.

"I would be amazed if there are not other big clubs interested, but Liverpool are slowly making their way back not only to the top of the English game, but the top of the European game.
“There will be more and more of those top players keen on joining them."
Fekir is valued at around £50million.
