Liverpool are strongly linked with Nabil Fekir.
Jan Molby has told The Liverpool Echo that former club Liverpool will hope to tie up a deal for Nabil Fekir before the World Cup starts on June 14.
According to The Sun, Liverpool have made a bid of around £52 million for the Lyon playmaker, who managed 21 goals across all competitions for the French side last term.
In doing so, the 24-year-old has made himself one of Europe’s most attractive attacking quantities, and Molby expects him to fit seamlessly into Jurgen Klopp’s devastating offence if and when the deal materialises.
“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,” he told The Liverpool Echo.
“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.
“We do need an option for the front three, and he would be an interesting purchase.”
The Reds certainly mean business and signing Fekir would only highlight their ambition.
Klopp’s side, beaten Champions League finalists last month, finished a distance behind Premier League champions Manchester City this past season, despite thumping them in Europe, and bridging that gap will be on the agenda for the German boss – and he is certainly going the right way about it.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss this week wrapped up a deal for former Monaco midfielder Fabinho and, with Naby Keita set to arrive and Fekir potentially following the duo to Anfield, the future looks very bright on Merseyside.
