NABIL FEKIR is happy at Lyon amid speculation a deal has been agreed for him to join Liverpool,
Fekir is one of the brightest talents currently plying his trade in Ligue 1 and his form has seen him tipped to make a big summer move.
Real Madrid and Arsenal have been touted as potential destinations, while Liverpool emerged as the frontrunner to get him on-board over the weekend.
Reports claimed the Reds have come to an agreement with Lyon that will see Fekir become the latest reinforcement to Jurgen Klopp’s squad in the summer.
Speaking after Sunday’s 3-0 win over Troyes, the 24-year-old insisted life at Lyon suits him and that his mind is on the task at hand though.
"We discussed some things after [CSKA] Moscow [knocked Lyon out of the Europa League in March] and managed to straighten things out," said Fekir.
"I am still in Lyon. We still have two games left [this season]. I am good here. This club is in my heart."
Lyon chairman Jean Michel-Aulas also provided an important update after news of a supposed agreement with Liverpool broke.
"We have had no contact with Liverpool [on Sunday]," he said. "Fekir is here.
"We hope to keep him and have him playing the Champions League with us next year."
Liverpool boss Klopp was equally dismissive after his side’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
"During the game we agreed a deal? I would be surprised about that to be honest. No comment," he said.
"I never comment on transfer rumours. I've said more than I usually say."
