Talks between Liverpool and Lyon must have taken a sudden turn after Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said on Thursday nothing would be sealed ahead of the World Cup.

Reports say Fekir has helped force a deal through by telling Lyon he wasn’t interested in joining anyone else but the Reds.

Fekir, who scored 18 goals in Ligue 1 last season, is said to be due on Merseyside this week before France travel to Russia to complete their pre-World Cup training.

Liverpool have already signed midfielders Naby Keïta and Fabinho ahead of next season but 24-year-old Fekir will add another threat to an already electric frontline.
