Lyon ace Fekir wants playing guarantees from Arsenal

Olympique Lyon star Nabil Fekir admits he will want first team guarantees to move to Arsenal.

Fekir has been watched extensively by Gunners scout Gilles Grimandi this season.

He is aware of Arsenal's interest and said: "With all the great players at Arsenal it would be difficult for me to get a place in their team. You never know what might happen. But I don't want to leave Lyon too early, and end up sitting on a sub's bench somewhere.

"I love to play. I am not happy if I don't get games."

France and his parents' birthplace, Algeria, meanwhile, are competing to offer him international football.
