Liverpool are interested in Lyon captain and France international Nabil Fekir, according to his agent.

Nabil Fekir’s agent has confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the Lyon captain but says a deal is yet to be struck for the France international.

The Frenchmen scored 18 league goals last season as Lyon finished third in Ligue 1 behind Monaco and runaway champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The 24-year-old’s impressive form has been noticed by a number of clubs, including Liverpool, but discussions between club and player are yet to take place, according to Fekir’s agent Jean-Pierre Bernes.

‘Talks with Liverpool will only happen when there is an agreement with Lyon and Jean-Michel Aulas gives the green light,’ he told French outlet Le Progres.
