Nabil Fekir

Unfortunately for Nabil Fekir, injuries have dampened his career. However, at just 23-years-old, the Frenchman has a lengthy career ahead of him. And Alexandre Lacazette’s departure from Lyon could prompt Fekir to move on.

He was expected to make Didier Deschamps’ France squad for Euro 2016, which made it to the final before losing to Portugal, however an injury prior to the tournament kept the youngster out of action.

Fekir missed just six Ligue 1 games for Lyon last season and since making his first-team debut in 2013, the Frenchman has featured 86 times in the league, scoring 27 and setting up 20.

Like the others on this shortlist, Fekir has a low centre-of-gravity which makes it difficult to get the ball off whilst not only having that eye for a killer pass, but also being lethal in front of the goal.

Lyon’s style of play is fairly similar to that of Arsenal’s, which means Fekir shouldn’t have too much adapting to do should a move materialise.
