(Reuters) - Olympique Lyonnais captain Nabil Fekir has moved to Spain's Real Betis for an initial 19.75 million euros (£17.74 million) fee, the French club has said.

The attacking midfielder was a target for Liverpool last season but the deal fell through after the player failed a medical and the French club decided to sell him to Betis after he entered the final year of his contract.
