We’re a cynical lot at Sport Witness but a leak this afternoon on social media which claims to show Nabil Fekir in a Liverpool kit, as a screenshot of a presentation, looks legit.
Someone is either an absolute expert at Photoshop or this is very much the real thing.
A Liverpool fan has shared the image on social media and it’s understandably got supporters rather excited.
There had earlier been reports the deal was in danger, but France’s RMC reported a medical had taken place on Thursday evening at Clairefontaine.
Lyon’s denials weren’t out of character, they do this kind of thing with nearly every big exit.
Just been sent this. Deal is done!!! #FekirFriday pic.twitter.com/vM6zKczV8o

More leaks are now appearing across social media.
Fekir himself flew into Lyon at lunchtime on Friday with his France teammates, as he prepares for a friendly against the US on Saturday evening.
France Football’s Nabil Djellit has also reported the deal is done.
Fekir va jouer à Liverpool. Terminé.
