Greek side Olympiakos are in negotiations with Leicester to sign their Algerian right-winger Rachid Ghezzal.

The 27-year-old was signed by former Foxes boss Claude Puel for £12.5m from AS Monaco a year ago.

Olympiakos are eager to agree a deal ahead of the Super League Greece transfer deadline on August 31.

Ghezzal scored three goals in 23 appearances in all competitions during the 2018/19 campaign but is yet to feature in Brendan Rodgers' plans so far this season.

The Algeria international has three years remaining on his current Leicester deal after agreeing a four-year contract when he arrived in 2018.
