Lyon forward Nabil Fekir admits that he dreams of playing for Barcelona, and hopes to win the Ballon d'Or during his career.

The 22-year-old formed a deadly strike partnership with Alexandre Lacazette - the pair scored 40 goals between them - in his breakout season as Hubert Fournier's side finished second in Ligue 1 in 2014-15.

Fekir is determined to continue his good form for his current employers, but admits that he has set his sights on a move to Camp Nou in the coming seasons.

"In my head, I have many dreams. I will not talk about them all immediately," he said in an interview with L'Equipe. "I want to do my best for Lyon and then join a big club – that's my goal.

"My favourite team is Barcelona, but I'm aware that much work is needed. To play for Barcelona one day is my dream.
