Nabil Fekir open to Arsenal transfer

Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir has revealed of his desire to join Arsenal in the summer, but only if he get sufficient opportunities in the first-team.

The 21-year-old has been constantly associated with a switch to the Premier League, with the Gunners favourites to land his signature.

Fekir has revealed that he opted to stay at Lyon in January, as he did not want to warm the bench at the Emirates.

"We'll see. I didn't want to leave too soon and then stay on the bench. I am a fighter and I love playing well, I'm not happy if I do not play." He was quoted as saying by L'Equipe.

"It was only my first season at the top level and at Arsenal, with the big players there, it will be difficult to play for them, perhaps. You never know."
