The former Lyon man instead joined Spanish outfit Real Betis in 2019 for just over £17million.

Fekir has been a long-term transfer target for Arsenal but a move to the Emirates has never materialised.

Now reports are linking the midfielder with a Premier League move again.

Fichajes say that three Premier League clubs are interested in signing the World Cup winner with Betis setting a £26m price tag.

The midfielder has scored two goals and provided two assists in 14 LaLiga matches this season.

The 29 year old was a World Cup winner with France back in 2018 and won the Copa Del Rey with Betis in the 2021/2022 season.

Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Barcelona’s Ansu Fati as well as Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic.

It’s set to be a busy summer for the Red Devils with the club up for sale with fans desperate for new ownership.
