Fekir to have medical on Friday

Liverpool could complete the signing of key summer target Nabil Fekir in the next 48 hours, with the Frenchman set for a medical on Friday.

The Lyon star has been heavily linked with the Reds since the end of last season, and it looked likely that any deal wouldn’t be complete until after the World Cup.

However, L’Equipe have offered Liverpool fans a boost before the international tournament that kicks off next week, with the French outlet claiming that a deal is very close to being complete.

According to the report, Liverpool and Lyon have reached an agreement for the transfer of the 24-year old attacker, with the Reds forking out €65million (£57.1million) to land their man, with an additional bonus of €7million to be paid.

Fekir should complete his medical on Friday, which will see Liverpool tie the deal up before the World Cup starts next week.
