Leicester City are closing in on the signing of Monaco attacking midfielder Rachid Ghezzal, according to Sky sources.

The Premier League side are believed to have agreed a £10m fee with their Ligue 1 counterparts for the 26-year-old Algeria international.

Ghezzal is understood to have been undertaking a medical at Leicester, and personal terms are not expected to be a problem.

He made 35 appearances for Monaco last season - including four in the Champions League - helping his side to second place in Ligue 1.
