Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is planning a mega deal that will bring Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir to the Emirate next season.
The legendary French gaffer is willing to pay £45m for the 24-year-old, who is expected to be a key member of France's World Cup squad in June.
Fekir scored in Lyon's 3-1 Europa League win over Villarreal on Thursday night February 15 and has been compared to France hero Youri Djorkaeff, who helped his country become world champions in 1998 and win the European Championship two years later.

Lyon might be reluctant to lose their star man, but they might beb tempted by a juicy offer as the case of Alexandre Lacazette who they let go to Arsenal for £52.7m last summer.
Wenger has tracked Fekir's development closely, while he has also been watched by Arsenal's French scout Gilles Grimandi.
He has previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Wenger will be hoping for a deal before Fekir reports for World Cup duty with France.
