Rachid Ghezzal urges Leicester fans to be patient with him

Leicester City midfielder Rachid Ghezzal has urged fans to be patient with him.

The £12million signing is six months in to his City career but feels he has not shown his best form since arriving from Monaco.

“The English league is different from (France's) Ligue 1," Ghezzal told beIN Sports. “There is more commitment, the physical battle rages and (there is) more tension during matches.

“I need a little more adaptation time to integrate well and find my true level. I'm discovering another style of play, a new life and another language too.

“This is my first season in England. I really hope to succeed here, to score goals, make passes and be decisive. I want to leave a good impression on the club.

“I still have to work more. I want to prove to the coach what I can really do, so I do not regret anything in the end."
