Liverpool transfer target Nabil Fekir admits he could still leave Lyon before the transfer window closes

Fekir has attracted Premier League interest all summer

In-demand France forward Nabil Fekir admitted he could yet leave Lyon this summer, despite the Ligue 1 side playing hard ball over his sale.

The versatile attacker was the subject of negotiations between Liverpool and Olympique Lyonnais earlier in the summer while reports in France have claimed Chelsea are considering a late bid before Thursday's deadline.

Fekir returned to training with Lyon on Monday after helping his country win the World Cup and, despite being happy at the Ligue 1 club, admitted he was unsure about his future.

"As you can see, I am in Lyon. I am very good here," he told the club website.

"But the transfer window is still long and everything goes very fast in football. We do not know what will happen in the future but I am very good at OL.

"I feel great in the group. We have very good players, there is a good atmosphere.

"We live well and I hope that OL will have a great season."

Liverpool's interest cooled after negotiations with Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas went sour in June but there remained a feeling that the Anfield club could return to the table if his asking price dipped even though the club insisted they had ended their interest.

Fekir, Lyon's captain, scored 18 league goals last season as well as providing eight assists to help his side finish third and secure Champions League qualification.

The 25-year-old foward then made six substitute appearances for France on their way to World Cup glory in Russia.
