One-time Liverpool target Nabil Fekir scored a cracker on Wednesday.

It looks like Liverpool fans still want to sign Nabil Fekir in January.

The French playmaker was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window and looked set to join from Lyon.

But Liverpool pulled out of a big-money deal after a knee issue was identified during his medical.

The 25-year-old hasn’t been as impressive this season as he was during the 2017-18 campaign, only managing four goals and four assists across all competitions.

But he looked back to his best on Wednesday night by scoring a cracking equaliser in Lyon’s 1-1 draw away to Shakhtar in the Champions League.

Here’s how some fans of the Merseyside club reacted to the goal:

As much as those supporters are keen to see Fekir join Liverpool, it probably won’t happen. If it didn’t materialise in the summer then it makes little sense for it to ever happen now, unless the Reds’ hierarchy become less concerned about his knee problem for whatever reason.

But manager Jurgen Klopp still needs a brilliant number 10 in January and time will tell who the German signs, if anyone.
