Lyon forward Nabil Fekir does not expect to leave the club this summer despite being linked with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
Fekir is said to have attracted the attention of a number of clubs across Europe having scored 15 goals in Lyon for France this season, but the 21-year-old says he is more than happy at Stade de Gerland.
"There is so much talk of my departure but I honestly do not think that I will leave Lyon," Fekir said.
"While in football it is said that you never know what the future holds, I will stay at Lyon regardless."
Fekir's father revealed in April that the France international had split with his agent due to them holding talks with Manchester City, claiming he would only leave Lyon for Arsenal.
"They pushed for him to sign for City," Fekir Snr told Le Perisien. "But I told them if he goes to City and finds himself on the bench, it doesn't interest me, and the kid is not interested either.
"He loves to play, he does not like to be replaced. And they pushed to sign him for City, that's why he preferred to stop with them.
"Nabil would like to play Champions League football with Lyon. If he leaves, it'll be for Arsenal. It's the only club that can enable him to progress, with Arsene Wenger. He will not go to Manchester City to sit on the bench."
