The Algerian is currently plying his trade in Turkey at Super Lig outfit Besiktas on a season-long loan spell from Premier League side Leicester, and has already caught the eye.

 

Ghezzal has started Besiktas’ last five league games in a row and is increasingly establishing himself as a regular in Sergen Yalcin’s squad this season.

 

 

Besiktas are firmly impressed with Ghezzal’s performances on the pitch and are now exploring the possibility of permanently adding the winger to the squad.

 

According to Turkish outlet En Son Haber, Besiktas president Ahmet Nur Cebi is keen on sitting at the negotiating table with Ghezzal’s parent club Leicester, who would likely be willing to let the player go for the right price.

 

 

Ghezzal does not have a purchase option in his contract and is set to return to the Midlands club at the end of the current campaign, but Besiktas are keen on keeping him.

 

Leicester snapped the 28-year-old up from French giants Monaco in the summer of 2018 and he spent last term on loan at Italian side Fiorentina.

 

 

Ghezzal has made 23 appearances for Leicester in all competitions but is currently spending a second consecutive season shipped off on loan.
