One name that dominated the summer transfer window was Nabil Fekir, but the playmaker ended up staying at Lyon.

For a while it was heavily reported that the France international would join Liverpool, but a deal collapsed at the last minute.

It is thought that a previous knee issue concerned the Merseyside outfit enough for them to drop out of the transfer.

Despite this, Fekir continues to be linked to the Premier League, with L'Equipe claiming that Chelsea still hold an interest in the 25-year-old, but they face fierce competition from Real Madrid.

It is unclear whether the midfielder will be available in January, but at the moment, the Blues are in a good position on the pitch.

Maurizio Sarri is unbeaten in the Premier League since taking over from Antonio Conte, but the team suffered a blip last weekend.

Their five-game winning run was stopped by West Ham United, who restricted Chelsea to a goalless draw at the London Stadium.

Whether Sarri decides to strengthen in the winter window remains to be seen, but when we asked you about the potential capture of Fekir, plenty of fans were happy about the idea.
