Olivier Giroud has urged Lyon forward Nabil Fekir to join Chelsea, revealing that Eden Hazard has also discussed the possibility with the midfielder.
Fekir came close to joining Liverpool earlier in the transfer window as the Reds entered talks over a £60 million (€68m/$80m) transfer with Lyon. The attacking midfielder even had a medical with the Reds as a deal looked imminent, only to see it fall apart before the World Cup.
The collapse was quickly followed by rumours Fekir could end up heading to Real Madrid, but Lyon boss Bruno Genesio and president Jean-Michel Aulas have since suggested he could stay in Ligue 1 for another year.
