Barcelona ahead of Arsenal in race for Nabil Fekir?

Barcelona could reportedly beat Arsenal to signing of Real Betis attacker Nabil Fekir this summer.

The 27-year-old has been an important player for Betis during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring three times and providing six assists in 30 appearances in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that Arsenal are in pole position to sign the Frenchman, who still has more than two years left to run on his contract in Seville.

However, according to Estadio Deportivo, Barca are emerging as the favourites for the versatile attacker, with the Catalan giants looking to boost their squad in this summer's transfer window.

Fekir was strongly linked with Liverpool before joining Betis from Lyon, and he has played a leading role in his Spanish side's impressive La Liga form in recent weeks.

The 25-time France international has scored 10 times and registered 13 assists in 63 appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's team in all competitions.
