Dad: Fekir will only join Wenger's Arsenal - NOT Man City

The father of Lyon star Nabil Fekir has ruled out a move to Manchester City. Fekir is interesting City and Arsenal.

But his father, Mohammed told Le Parisien: "Nabil would like to finish first or second [in Ligue 1] and play Champions League football with Lyon.

"If he leaves, it will be for Arsenal. It is the only club that can enable him to progress, with Arsene Wenger. He will not go to Manchester City to sit on the bench."

He added "They pushed for him to sign for City. But I told them if he goes to City and finds himself on the bench, it doesn't interest me, and the kid is not interested either."
