Feghouli dropped by Algeria with West Ham exit mooted

Sofiane Feghouli is free to negotiate a January exit from West Ham having been left out of Algeria's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Feghouli has failed to make a Premier League start since joining on a free transfer from Valencia ahead of the 2016-17 season, with Marseille reportedly looking to take the winger to Ligue 1.

The 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in 42 international caps, and was expected to be in George Leekens' squad for the tournament in Gabon.

However, it seems that Leekens has been dissuaded by Feghouli's lack of game time, which could push the player further towards the exit door at London Stadium.
