5 football superstars making the most headlines this summer

#3 Nabil Fekir

Liverpool's top-target could be closing in on Chelsea

Liverpool fans have been yearning for the club to make a move for Nabil Fekir, and while that may still be the case, Chelsea surprisingly has emerged as favorites to sign the World Cup winner.

After the deal with Liverpool fell through due to a medical issue, many reliable publications suggested that Fekir would most probably remain a Lyon player. In what could be the most perplexing transfer saga of the summer, nobody in England knows where the French attacker would eventually land.

Considering how influential he was for Lyon in the previous season, his abilities and his command over his craft makes him an ideal choice for both clubs.

The transfer market closes on Thursday for English clubs, and with no formal bids placed for the French man, there is still slight a possibility he could be a Liverpool or Chelsea player this summer.
