The agent of Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir has handed Liverpool a boost in the race for his signature.

It's been suggested Bayern Munich have entered the race for Liverpool target Fekir - but according to his agent, no approach has been made by the German club.

The Reds have long been seen as front-runners for the 23-goal midfielder's signature, but reports were cause for concern for Jurgen Klopp as the Bundesliga champions were rumoured with a late move.

Fekir's agent, however, rubbished the claims.

He told Bild: “There is no contact with Bayern."
