Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to a shock transfer rumour, as one report has claimed the Reds are still chasing Lyon captain Nabil Fekir.

Liverpool fans were not happy with a report from the Liverpool Echo earlier this week, which claimed the chase for Fekir was well and truly over.

However, French football expert Julien Laurens has now claimed the race is still on, saying the player “really wanted to join” in the summer.

The deal of course fell through at the last minute, supposedly down to a problem with the World Cup winner’s knee, but Laurens claims the Reds “are still very much monitoring the situation”.

Liverpool fans have been crying out for a creative midfielder, as the front three has looked a little starved of service at times this season.

Fekir would be the perfect player to slot in on the left side of Klopp’s midfield, and the report from Laurens says the Lyon skipper “had a great feeling with Klopp” when the move was on the table this summer.
