Leicester City flop Ghezzal joins Besiktas on loan

Algeria international Rachid Ghezzal has joined Turkish Super Lig outfit Besiktas on a season-long loan from Premier League side Leicester City.

The 28-year-old winger joined the Foxes in the summer of 2018 as a direct replacement for his countryman Riyad Mahrez, who left for Manchester City.

However, the former Lyon and AS Monaco man failed to live up to expectations and was sent on loan to Serie A outfit Fiorentina, with the Violets having an option to make the deal permanent.
