Newcastle United, Arsenal 'set their sights on Nabil Fekir'

Newcastle United and Arsenal are both reportedly interested in signing Real Betis attacker Nabil Fekir.

The 26-year-old, who joined Betis from Lyon last summer, has been in impressive form during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring seven times and providing six assists in 22 La Liga appearances.

According to Marca, Newcastle, who could soon have significant investment from a new owner, and Arsenal have both 'set their sights' on the France international ahead of this summer's transfer window.

However, the report claims that Fekir - contracted to the Green and Whites until June 2023 - has signalled that he wants to remain in Seville.

The attacker is allegedly not interested in leaving Betis unless a 'title-challenging team with an ambitious project' make a move for him.

Real Madrid and AC Milan have also both been credited with an interest in his services.
