Arsenal are lining up a summer swoop for the Lyon ace.
The Gunners have made Lyon ace Nabil Fekir their number one summer transfer target, according to the Daily Mail, as Arsene Wenger looks to add further dynamism to his front-line at the Emirates.
Arsenal brought in Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the January transfer window, but after loosing Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez, further attacking flair is definitely needed.
The Daily Mail claims that Wenger has identified Fekir as his primary summer transfer target, and is prepared to pay £45 million to bring the France international to north London.
The 24-year-old has been in fine form for Lyon this season, chipping in with six goals and seven assists in 22 Ligue 1 outings.
He is most comfortable when operating as a number 10, but can play anywhere along the front-line, and would undoubtedly provide Arsenal with a different type of threat in the final third.
For £45 million, the Gunners would be surely be getting a real bargain, and Fekir would undoubtedly flourish playing alongside the likes of Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang.
