Liverpool will complete a deal for Lyon midfielder Nabil Fekir despite complications surrounding the deal.

That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.

Fekir was expected to join Liverpool on Friday but after a knee problem was reportedly found during his medical, the deal was delayed.

And on Saturday evening Lyon announced the deal was off, claiming their captain will remain at the club next season.

Hislop reckons the knee problem could delay any deal further, but reckons Fekir will still become a Liverpool player this summer.

“I think there are a number of moving parts to this,” he said on ESPN FC.

“All speculation suggests that there was an issue with the medical.

“If that’s the case then all of a sudden you’re talking about insurance, you’re talking about premiums.

“It’s not just a case of Liverpool offering more money or Lyon accepting more because, again, now you have insurance underwriters that come into play and that has to be taken into account.

“Maybe Lyon have to pay some of that insurance because he came through their academy, what not.

“So it’s not as simple cut and dry as what number you’re putting behind the pound sign.
