Arsenal interested in signing Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly keen on bringing Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir to the club when the transfer window reopens in January.

The 21-year-old has impressed in Ligue 1 this season, scoring six goals in 12 appearances for Les Gones to attract the attention of many of Europe's elite clubs.

However, a report in the Daily Express claims that Arsenal will have to cough up a fee of around £8m if they are to land the France Under-21 international.

It is also suggested that the Gunners are willing to wait until next summer before making a move, with further strengthening of the defence an immediate priority in the New Year.

The London outfit are currently sixth in the Premier League table following yesterday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Stoke City.
