Oh so close to signing for Liverpool last year, Nabil Fékir ended up staying at Lyon for an extra season, and while it didn’t go too badly, it also wasn’t his best.
Described as a ‘more than mediocre’ campaign for the Frenchman by L’Equipe, 2018-19 saw the 25-year-old score 12 goals and pick up nine assists in 39 appearances, and it could very well be his last for the Ligue 1 side.
Unfortunately, there aren’t meany suitors queuing up, with Tottenham the only club mentioned.
Hard to naturally fit into a 4-3-3, the formation new manager Sylvinho is thinking about playing, the attacking midfielder is entering the last year of his contract and the French newspaper explain ‘talks about a renewal have even been abandoned’.
As for Spurs, L’Equipe state the club ‘seem interested’, ‘especially if Eriksen leaves’, but ‘no one has official come forward so far’.
Wanting €50m for his player in the past, it seems Aulas will now have to settle for less than that.
After all, Tottenham are in a similar position to Lyon with the Dane, who recently admitted he could leave this summer, looking for a new adventure outside of London.
Perhaps Daniel Levy is simply waiting to see what happens with Eriksen before moving for Fékir, which would make a lot of sense.
