Lyon attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir emerges as a rumoured target for Arsenal, 12 months on from his £53m switch to Liverpool collapsing late on.

Arsenal have reportedly turned their attention to Lyon star Nabil Fekir in their search for a new attacking player.

The Gunners are said to have already been knocked back by Crystal Palace with their £40m bid for Wilfried Zaha - around half the amount the Eagles are holding out for.

According to L'Equipe, Arsenal are now looking at France international Fekir and they may soon test the waters with an opening offer.

Any move for the 25-year-old supposedly depends on whether they can first offload Mesut Ozil, however, with the playmaker not part of Unai Emery's plans.

Fekir was on the brink of joining Liverpool in a £53m deal last summer, only for the Reds to pull the plug at the last minute because of medical concerns.
