Reported Arsenal target Nabil Fekir pens new Lyon contract

France international Nabil Fekir has signed a new long-term contract with Lyon.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder was already tied to the club until 2019, but has now extended that deal by a further year.

"It was an easy decision," Fekir told the club website. "This club has captured my heart.

"I want to help us improve. There was no hesitation as I wanted to continue my adventure here."

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Frenchman this summer, but will have to fork out a large sum to prise Fekir away from the Stade Gerland.

Fekir, who has four senior caps with France, scored 13 goals in 34 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon last season.
