On-loan Leicester City winger Ghezzal open to Fiorentina stay

Rachid Ghezzal is hoping to secure a permanent move from Leicester City to Serie A side Fiorentina.

The winger joined the King Power Stadium outfit in the summer of 2018 as a direct replacement for his compatriot Riyad Mahrez, who left for Manchester City.

The former Monaco man, however, failed to live up to expectations and was sent on loan to the Italian side in July, with the Violets having an option to make the deal permanent.

Ghezzal, who has made six appearances since his move, is hoping to remain at Stadio Artemio Franchi after the end of his current temporary deal.
