Lyon announced on Saturday that attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir would be staying with them after talks with Liverpool over a deal broke down, and Reds fans don't want Monaco's Thomas Lemar, rated at £58.5m by Transfermarkt, to be the alternative for the 25-year-old.

The Merseyside outfit had looked set to bring the France international to Anfield as Philippe Coutinho's long-term replacement, but a move now looks to have broken down at the 11th hour.

Meanwhile, Lemar endured a disappointing 2017/18 campaign compared to the one previous as he scored three goals and provided a further 10 assists in 38 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit, with 14 goals and 17 assists in 50 outings in 2016/17.

Liverpool supporters, who have urged Jurgen Klopp to seal a summer move for a £40.5m winger, were quick to have their say on a potential deal for the 22-year-old, and while one said "Thomas Lemar is nowhere near as good as Fekir", another said "Lemar is worse than Fekir but will cost more".
