The 24-year-old has impressed this season, netting 11 goals and providing three assists in just 14 games.

This outstanding form has put Fekir on the radar of the biggest clubs in Europe, with Barcelona and Arsenal both desperate to get the Frenchman's signature.

Fekir is being lined up by Arsene Wenger to replace Mesut Ozil if he departs the club in the coming year.

Barcelona also feel they need to add to their attacking threat, with Mesut Ozil on their radar too.

He told TF1’s ‘Telefoot': "There’s nothing concrete with Barcelona, Spain makes me dream: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid. Those are great clubs.

"But there is also England, with Manchester City and Arsenal.

“Is this my last season at Lyon? I don’t know what the future holds for me. I’ve still got two years left on my contract. So, I’m still Lyonnais.”

However, Lyon's president has asserted that he will not be sold in January.

Jean Michel Aulas said: “Obviously there’s interest, but we’ll do everything to keep Nabil. And I think he wants to stay.”
