Fekir: 'I want to stay at Lyon'

Nabil Fekir has revealed that he is looking to stay at Lyon amid rumours of a move away this summer.

The French international's future at the club has the subject of intense speculation, with reports suggesting that midfielder was open to joining Arsenal at the end of the season.

However, Fekir has insisted that he is looking forward to another campaign with Les Gones.

He is quoted by Ligue 1.com as saying: "I want to stay at Lyon. It is a club where I feel good, and if we have the chance to play in the Champions League next season that would be a very good thing.

"There is no point in leaving early if it is to sit on the bench somewhere. I'd prefer to stay here and make the most of playing in the Champions League if we are lucky enough to get there. Beyond that we will see."

Fekir has scored 12 goals and provided nine assists for Lyon this season.
