Report: Leicester City keen on Monaco winger Rachid Ghezzal

Leicester City have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Monaco winger Rachid Ghezzal this summer.

The 26-year-old made a name for himself at Lyon, spending 13 seasons at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais before joining the principality side last year.

However, Ghezzal has struggled for form at Monaco, scoring just twice in 35 appearances last season.

According to The Sun, Foxes boss Claude Puel is eager to work again with the Algeria international and wants the club to make a bid.

Ghezzal came through the ranks at Lyon's academy when the 56-year-old was the club's first-team manager.

Everton and Watford have also previously been linked with the former France Under-20 international, who is contracted to Monaco until 2021.
