Leicester City have struck terms with AS Monaco for Rachid Ghezzal.

The Daily Mail says Leicester have agreed an initial £12.5million deal for Ghezzal.

The 26-year-old Algerian international arrived for a medical on Friday and has agreed a four year contract.

Ligue 1 outfit Monaco granted Ghezzal permission to travel to England for talks and a medical on Friday prior to meeting up with Claude Puel who was his manager at Lyon.

Ghezzal moved to Monaco last summer from Lyon but struggled to break into the first team on a regular basis, making just seven starts in Ligue 1.
