With doubts about the long term future of forward Theo Walcott, it is understood that Arsene Wenger is ready to snap up Fakir this summer as a long term replacement.

Liverpool are said to be interested in Arsenal man Theo Walcott and will pay handsomely to sign the England international. Walcott has just 14 months left on his Gunners contract and the forward is still not sure where his future lies. With Walcott potentially headed for a move elsewhere, Fekir could be Arsenal\'s preferred replacement. 

Fekir is already valued at around 17.5 million euros by Lyon.
