Transfer: Arsenal offered French top attacking midfielder

Lyon have offered their top attacking midfielder, Nabil Fekir, to Europa League finalists, Arsenal, according to The Mirror UK.

The 25-year-old came close to joining Champions League winners, Liverpool, last summer but the move collapsed at the medical stage.

The Frenchman stayed in France for the 2018/19 campaign, but in May the club's president, Jean-Michel Aulas said the attacking midfielder can leave this summer.

The Frenchman is out of contract next summer and it is the club's last chance to get decent money for the World Cup winner.

Lyon would apparently be willing to accept £30 million for the star, which is far below what Liverpool offered last summer.

Although Arsenal have a low budget for recruitment this summer, a quality player like Fekir being available for a cut-price fee seems enticing.
