Ligue 1 club club Lyon have denied claims that Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign midfielder Nabil Fekir.
On their Twitter account, the French club deemed the rumours as ‘false’ after it was reported that he was going in for a medical.
The statement from Lyon read: “Olympique Lyonnais categorically denies the false information disseminated by many media about the transfer of Nabil Fakir to the Liverpool club.”
“In this period of transfers where the slightest rumour is often presented as a reality, Olympique Lyonnais recalls that only the information disseminated by the club on its website is authentic.”
While a switch still seems certain for the midfielder this summer, Liverpool are keen to make it happen before the World Cup kicks off in Russia.
