Liverpool in talks to sign Lyon ace Fekir - and kid brother Yassin

Liverpool are in talks to sign Lyon ace Nabil Fekir - and kid brother Yassin.

RMC reports a €70m deal, which would include bonuses, has been agreed between Liverpool and Lyon chiefs.

It is even claimed that the deal was smoothed over by former Anfield chief Gerard Houllier, who is an advisor to OL president Jean-Michel Aulas.

And Yassin will also come and join Liverpool's Under-23 squad, as a sweetener to Fekir.

However, manager Jurgen Klopp has poured water on the speculation as the Reds prepare to splash the rest of the £142m acquired from Barcelona in the Philippe Coutinho sale in January.

Klopp responded: “During the game, we agreed a deal?! I would be surprised about that to be honest. No comment."
