Originally, it appeared that the transfer of Fekir to Liverpool would take place after the World Cup, but that has changed over the past 24 hours.

Since Liverpool’s interest in Fekir came to his attention, he made it clear to Lyon that he wanted the move. Lyon were fine with their prized asset moving on, but only for the right price.

Klopp’s interest in Fekir has come after the Frenchman scored 21 goals and had nine assists in 39 appearances in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season.

Fekir is considered the natural replacement for Philippe Coutinho and bolsters Liverpool’s attack after they were left with little depth going into the final stages of last season.

We will keep you updated over the course of the day with any news on the deal.
