Lyon coach Genesio confident Fekir calm after Chelsea, Liverpool pressure

Olympique Lyon coach Bruno Genesio is confident of Nabil Fekir's commitment.

A move to Liverpool collapsed before the World Cup, while Chelsea had two offers rising to €60m rejected by OL on the Premier League's deadline day on Thursday.

Genesio, meanwhile, is confident Fekir is happy, despite OL's stand.

"It's often the English clubs that have the greatest financial power. It's rather reassuring for Nabil," he said.

"I think Nabil showed that he was very happy to come back here. I fully count on him for the meeting in Reims."
