Arsenal target Nabil Fekir has told Arsene Wenger to forget about him – unless he can guarantee regular first-team football next season, writes the Sunday People's Steve Goodman.

The £20million-rated Lyon midfielder, 21, has scored eight goals in 19 games for his hometown club.

France and his parents’ birthplace, Algeria, are competing to offer him international football and Gunners boss Wenger is considering a summer bid .

But Fekir insisted: “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.”
