Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan speaking with Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal

Olympique Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal is the subject of interest from the likes of Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

Foot Mercato is reporting that a host of clubs are keen on signing the 24-year-old winger when his Lyon contract expires in the summer.

The Gunners, Atleti and Rossoneri, plus Everton and Valencia, are all in regular contact with Ghezzal's representatives regarding a pre-contract agreement.

However, it is Ligue 1 club AS Monaco who have stolen a march on the others as it is understood that the French-born Algeria international is open to moving to the Principality.

Ghezzal is away with Algeria at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon, and came on as a late sub in their 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe in their opening match on Sunday.
