# Liverpool-linked Fekir emerges as potential Everton target

Everton are being linked with a surprise move to sign long-term Liverpool target Nabil Fekir.

[According to reports in Italy](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/everton-piace-un-giocatore-del-lione-66422), Liverpool’s Merseyside rivals are eager to sign the player who came ever so close to becoming a Red just a few months ago.

Fekir, who had been linked with a move to Anfield for some time, had completed interviews with [Liverpool’s in-house media](https://talksport.com/football/434895/nabil-fekir-liverpool-lyon-leaked-interview-reds-media/) team before seeing a deal fall through in the final moments, for reasons that are still unclear to this day.

Having impressed in Ligue 1 with Lyon, Fekir has been heavily linked with moves away from the club in the past, with German heavyweights Bayern Munich among the teams also [interested](https://readbundesliga.com/2018/12/11/bayern-and-chelsea-to-battle-for-fekir/).

Securing a deal to sign Fekir from Lyon would certainly be considered as a coup for Everton if their interest is indeed true.

Whether or not Fekir ever finds himself in the Premier League remains to be seen.
