The number one Liverpool target of the summer transfer window has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and this article might explain why it’s better he rides as a Blue rather a than Red.
Goal.com has said that Nabil Fekir wants to leave Lyon and join the Premier League, Liverpool and Chelsea are the most probable places to have him this season, with the latter looking more likely.
However, according to Di Marzio, the Londoners are in advance talks with the French club for the possible transfer of the World Cup winner.
If this transaction happens, Fekir will be the third of four signings for Sarri this summer. Showing the world that they are one of the favourites in the race to be Premier League Champions this season. That, or it could be a teething phase under the new man.

The chemistry with Hazard, Kante and Giroud
This could be a good and perfect reason for Chelsea to beat Liverpool in the race to have him. Eden Hazard, N’golo Kante and Oliver Giroud are well-known by the players, as they are kind of idols in France.

Plus, they all speak French. This could make it easier for him to adapt to England. Like the Brazilians are doing with Jorginho, if you are a Chelsea fan, you might have an idea that David Luiz, Lucas Piazon are one of the closest friends to the Italian-Brazilian midfielder.
Unlucky for Liverpool, who don’t have any French player to help him. Adaptation is one of the main factors for a player do his best – football fans see a good player not producing his best because of it.
Another key reason is that playing in a club like Chelsea will increase his chance to be a starter for the French national team. Sarri has built a strong team after new man, Mateo Kovacic signed on loan for the club. A midfield of Jorginho, Kante and him will help Fekir develop his game to its highest level.
He is not going to be the big boss, but he will be one of the best player in a team who could win the Premier League.
