Nabil Fékir’s father says Arsenal is the club for his son

Speaking to Le Parisien, Nabil Fékir’s father moved to quash an interest in his son joining Manchester City but praised Arsène Wenger.

“Nabil would like to finish 1st or 2nd and play Champions League football with Lyon. If he leaves, it will be for Arsenal. It is the only club that can enable him to progress, with Arsène Wenger. He will not go to Manchester City to sit on the bench.”

Lyon have issued a hands off warning for the player who is unlikely to quit Les Gones until at least next season.
