Leicester City Reportedly Beat Watford to Signature of Exciting Monaco Attacker

Leicester City have reportedly won the race to sign Monaco forward Rachid Ghezzal, ahead of Watford, who were also interested.

The French born Algerian winger featured for Monaco 26 times last season, but was limited in his minutes, most of which came off the bench. The attacker did manage to contribute two goals and four assists however, attracting the attention of some Premier League clubs.

According to ESPN, Leicester are set for talks with the Algerian after winning the race to sign him ahead of clubs such as Watford and Southampton.
