Leicester are reportedly interested in Monaco winger Rachid Ghezzal, who turned down a switch to Everton last summer.
Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Monaco winger Rachid Ghezzal this summer.
According to a report from Le 10 Sport, the 26-year-old is likely to leave the French club this summer and the Foxes are among the clubs keen to snap up the available ace.
It is reported that the attacker could leave after a difficult first season with Monaco and current Leicester boss Claude Puel previously worked with him at Lyon.
Le 10 Sport continued to explain that Ghezzal had the option to sign for Premier League outfit Everton last summer, but turned them down to join Monaco at the time.
The Algeria international made 35 appearances across all competitions in the last campaign, scoring just two goals and supplying four assists in return.
Ghezzal is a left-footed wide man cut from the same cloth as Riyad Mahrez, who left Leicester this summer to join Premier League champions Manchester City.
The winger previously hit top form for Lyon during the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons by being involved in 29 goals across all competitions, but could now move away from France to reignite his best form and it looks like a move to England is back on the cards.
