During the game, we agreed a deal? I would be surprised about that to be honest. No comment.

French outlets have claimed that the player will leave Lyon at the end of the season, with the Reds leading the race to sign him.

Fekir has often been touted with a Premier League move in the past, with Arsenal linked with the player over the summer.

Klopp also joked about rumours linking the Reds with Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, who is reportedly on his way out of the La Liga champions after struggling with injuries.

Dembele? Oooh, is he on the market? Now I am interested!
