5 big money moves that did not go through this summer

#3 Nabil Fekir to Liverpool

Fekir came very close to leaving Lyon

Many feel that Liverpool have done the best business of any team in the Premier League, having bought in Naby Keita, Fabinho and Alisson amongst others. One player they missed out on though was Nabil Fekir, who they had an interest in throughout the summer. They came close to signing the Frenchman before the World Cup got underway, but the move fell through.

There were rumours that he failed his medical at Anfield, while it was also reported that Lyon became frustrated that Liverpool were taking too long to complete the deal. Fekir would have been a good addition to their side, as he is a man capable of picking the passes in the final third, which is perhaps what the Reds are lacking at the moment. There is a possibility that Liverpool will return with a bid in January, so this deal may not be dead just yet.
