Arsenal, Everton target Ghezzal fed-up with Lyon treatment

Rachid Ghezzal is read to quit Olympique Lyon in January..

The winger, who has been linked with Southampton, Arsenal and Everton since the start of the season, has become increasingly unsettled in recent weeks.

Ghezzal's brother, Abdlekader, told Le Progres: "Simply, Rachid has no sporting guarantees. And that's what we want.

"He was going to re-sign a major contract, but why? To play when? We do not feel that Lyon is keen on Rachid's football. This is what bothers us. And we see this season, where he was twice starter.

"In the system used by OL, the place is made for Nabil Fekir and Rachid you put him where?"

He added: "We'll see in January-February where he will be in the team."
