REAL MADRID are reportedly eyeing a summer swoops for Real Betis star Nabil Fekir.
The French attacker has enjoyed a fine season since leaving Lyon to switch to La Liga.

And according to Estadio Deportivo, his form has alerted Los Blancos, who are sure to invest in their forward line at the end of the season.
In their last game before the coronavirus pandemic saw the Spanish season halted, Fekir helped lead Betis to a 2-1 win against Real.
His performance in particular caught the eye of Real president Florentino Perez.
Fekir joined Betis last summer in a £17.7m deal from Lyon.
The Frenchman was on the verge of completing a £52million switch to the Reds in the summer of 2018 before Jurgen Klopp’s side pulled out of a deal.
The deal went cold due to Liverpool attempting to renegotiate the fee after issues cropped up in his medical.
Arsenal were claimed to have made contact with the 26-year-old, who was available for the cut-price fee as Lyon didn’t want to lose him on a free.
But the Gunners missed out on a move because they failed to offload £350,000-a-week Mesut Ozil.
Fekir has scored seven goals in 22 league games this season, becoming a creative force for striker Loren Moron, himself having attracted transfer interest recently.
