Besiktas winger Rachid Ghezzal wants Leicester split

Rachid Ghezzal hopes he can part ways with Leicester City this summer.

The Algerian is currently on loan with Besiktas, having spent last season with Fiorentina.

Things haven't worked out for Ghezzal at the King Power since joining in 2018, and he wants to stay at Besiktas.

"I signed a deal at Besiktas for one year with no option to buy," he told BeIN Sports.

"I have a contract with Leicester City for another year. We will see what will happen. So far, nothing has been said about my future.

"I would be happy to continue at Besiktas. For now, I'm focused on the championship. We'll also play in the cup final. It would be great if we won both trophies.

"If we become champions with Besiktas, we will be in the Champions League next season.

"Also, thanks to my performances, I've got into the national team after two and a half years. There is the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup coming up in a short time. These issues will also be important when making my selection for the next season."
