Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have all been linked with the player.

But Mercato365 report that Ghezzal has put his differences with Lyon behind him and is all set to sign a new deal at the club.

The player admitted in the summer that he rejected a potential move to Everton. He was quoted by the Daily Star as telling Canal+:

“We are playing in the Champions League and we have a good group.

“I wouldn’t go for the money. Everton was less interesting than Lyon.”

More recently it is not Everton’s interest that has been regularly reported, but that of Tottenham and West Ham.

According to a report in Foot 365, and as reported by Get French Football this week, both Spurs and West Ham entered negotiations with Ghezzal recently.

However, despite these reports, it seems the current likeliness is that Ghezzal will sign a new deal at the Stade Gerland.

He had been out of the Lyon team at the start of the season because of his contract stance but he has recently been a regular in the Lyon side yet again.
