Liverpool target Nabil Fekir won't rule out Lyon exit this week

Nabil Fekir would not rule out a move away from Lyon this summer among persistent speculation linking the France forward to Liverpool.
The 25-year-old, who appeared as a substitute in six of France's World Cup games this summer, returned to training with Lyon on Monday, and though he said he's happy in his present club, he left his future plans unclear.
"As you can see, I am in Lyon. I am very good here," he told Lyon's website. "But the transfer window is still long and everything goes very fast in football.
"We do not know what will happen in the future but I am very good at OL. I feel great in the group. We have very good players, there is a good atmosphere.
"We live well and I hope that OL will have a great season."
Fekir appeared on the brink of a £60 million move to Anfield in June only for the deal to fall through after he had reportedly completed a medical and agreed personal terms.
Lyon's captain scored 18 times while providing eight assists in Ligue 1 last season as they finished third and qualified for the Champions League, before he helped France lift the World Cup trophy.
Meanwhile, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas insisted that his club are still in the frame to sign Yerry Mina from Barcelona, despite reports of advanced talks for the defender to join Everton.
"I do not think [this] information is accurate," Aulas wrote of the Everton reports on Twitter. "Yerry is still very interested in OL. We all wish [for him to come to Lyon] to play in the Champions League at [Groupama Stadium]."

  Two hundred children could die each day from hunger in northeastern Nigeria as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country, a humanitarian agency has warned. Up to half of all children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, international charity Save the Children said on Monday, after screening the health of boys and girls in the region between June and October in 2016. The figure could be even worse in areas that are out of reach because of insecurity, according to the report. Children are presenting in desperate conditions and facing severe malnutrition, often in combination with other life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea," said Ben Foot, Save the Children country director. "For some cases this may be the second or third time they have fought malnutrition so their immune systems are already severely weakened." Violent attacks on civilians since 2009 by the armed group Boko Haram have affected almost 15 milli

Cardi B explains why she 'drugged and robbed' men

Cardi B has defended herself after a video resurfaced of her saying she drugged and robbed men who wanted to have sex with her while she worked as a stripper before finding fame. The rapper faced criticism after the three-year-old Instagram live video recirculated on social media. "Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive," she wrote on Tuesday. "I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world." The original video was made as her career was starting to take off and was her response to someone who said she didn't deserve success because she hadn't put in any work. "Nothing was handed to me. Nothing," she said in the video, before going on to reveal that she would invite men to a hotel before drugging and robbing them. In response to the furore, she wrote on Instagram that she had been talking "about things in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living&quo

GameStop To Introduce Installment Payment Plans for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Preparing for the release of the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, GameStop is now preparing to launch an installment payment plan program for the next-gen consoles. Revealed in a series of internal documents, the American video game, consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer is looking to help offer an alternative way to own the systems. GameStop is currently looking into installment plans, direct layaway and rent-to-own plans. Installment plans would be offered through third-party companies like Quadpay and Klarna, requiring customers to split their purchase into four payments over six weeks with no interest. Layaway would see customers pay small installments over a certain period of time to clear the full payment before they receive their consoles. While the rent-to-own plans would let customers rent the new consoles for an upfront fee, with the rest of the cost paid over a 12 month period. Customers can then fully pay off the cost to own a console or retu
