Katie McCabe admits the rumours linking her with a move to Lyon are ‘really nice’, but her focus is solely on the Republic of Ireland’s fixture against France on Tuesday evening.

The Athletic recently reported that the French giants have identified McCabe as a ‘firm transfer target’ this summer although the Gunners, who tied the 28-year-old down to a new contract last September, are keen for her to remain in North London.
