Nabil Fekir will be moving to Arsenal as it is the only club that 'can enable him to progress, with Arsene Wenger' according to the players' father when speaking to French newspaper La Parisien.
The 21-year-old playmaker broke into the Lyon team last season but has become a firm favourite with the clubs fans this year with his attacking flair and prowess in front of goal.
Seven goals in 15 games this term already has attracted interest from Europe's elite but the player's father has called out Arsenal to make a bid for him.
Arsenal already have players of the same calibre in abundance but Santi Cazorla is seemingly a bit part player whilst Mesut Ozil hasn't been able to replicate his form from country to club.
Lyon would be reluctant to sell a player who the club president has likened to Lionel Messi but if the players' views echo his father's then the club may become surplus to requirements and accept a reasonable offer from Arsenal if they decided to do so in January.
