Bookmakers have suspended betting on Nabil Fekir’s future as it is believed Liverpool will sign the Lyon star.
Reports in France suggest that Liverpool ‘will sign’ the 24-year-old for a deal worth of £60m and betting company Coral, say they have been receiving a lot of bets from punters in the last 24 hours, as such, Coral’s John Hill told Starsport:
Punters have been backing Nabil Fekir to move to Liverpool like it is a done deal. As a result, we have suspended betting on his future as it looks as though Jurgen Klopp has beaten the competition for the Lyon man.
Fekir has scored 20 goals in 36 appearances for Lyon in all competitions this season, and his efforts have seen his club rise up to second in the Ligue 1 table.
More reports in France have sparked speculation that Fekir is ready to move to Merseyside, prompting action from betting companies.
French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin, has claimed that Liverpool ‘will’ finalise a £61m deal for Fekir when the transfer window opens.
He said:
Fekir met Klopp, very good talks between them. Fekir will sign at Liverpool for £61m unless something unforeseen happens.”
