# Liverpool: Fans call for Xherdan Shaqiri to join Lyon

**A number of Liverpool supporters want Xherdan Shaqiri to seal a move to Lyon, bringing an end to his time at Anfield in the process.**

The Swiss star arrived from Stoke City in the summer of 2018, but he hasn’t quite managed to have the impact he would have hoped for.

Shaqiri has displayed moments of brilliance, including a double against Manchester United and an assist for Gini Wijnaldum at home to Barcelona, but he has flattered to deceive too often.

The 29-year-old has been limited to just [63 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/alletore/spieler/86792) in three seasons for Liverpool, with [injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xherdan-shaqiri/verletzungen/spieler/86792) often holding him back.

Shaqiri has been [linked](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12379112/liverpool-transfer-news-xherdan-shaqiri-a-target-for-lyon-but-french-club-yet-to-match-liverpool-valuation) with a move to Lyon, with Jurgen Klopp not seeing a future for him, and the [*Liverpool Echo*](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/) \[via [*Anfield Watch*](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1428034240105562115?s=20) on Twitter\] claim the Reds are waiting for an improved offer from the Ligue 1 side.
