​Tottenham join race for Lyon midfielder Fekir

Tottenham are being linked with Lyon star Nabil Fekir.

The attacking midfielder, who was almost a Liverpool player in the summer, is a target for Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs want to add more creativity and attacking threat to their team, given recent injuries and player absences.

And CalcioMercato in Italy suggests that Fekir could be the man they see as having enough quality to improve the squad.

Fekir has seven goals and four assists in 18 Ligue 1 games for Lyon this term.

His move to Liverpool broke down over concerns about his knee, but the 25-year-old has not had any issues with it this season.
