The player's agent has opened the door to a transfer

Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Lyon forward Nabil Fekir for 50 million euros this summer after the player's agent opened the door to a possible transfer. 

However, Fekir has a deal with Lyon until 2020 and will not be allowed to walk away from the French club easily. 

Arsene Wenger wants to wrap the deal up before this summer's World Cup, with Fekir keen to sign for one of the top 10 biggest clubs in Europe. 

Fekir's agent says a move is possible but added that his client will not force an exit from Lyon. 

"If at the end of the season -- which is not the case today -- we have to make a decision, we will sit down with the [Lyon] president and find the right solution," he said.

"Respect above all for Lyon. We won't go looking for a confrontation. Nabil's at a great French club, if not the greatest.

"He has the potential. But you can't get ahead of yourself. A football career is built little by little. We don't want to burn ourelves, we will take care, because football goes so quickly.

"If one day we leave Lyon, the club where he's developed, who we owe everything to, we will go in the right way. Nabil has the personal objective to play for one of the best 10 clubs in Europe."
