​Leicester close to selling two wingers

Leicester City are set to jettison wingers Rachid Ghezzal and Fousseni Diabate.

Both are close to finalizing deals that will see them leave the club before the Sept 2 European transfer window deadline.

Ghezzal will head out on a loan deal, while Diabate may also exit in similar fashion.

The former is a target for Olympiakos. They hope to have Ghezzal signed in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Dijon want to sign Diabate. They want a straight loan, while Leicester want an obligation to buy in the deal.

The news comes from Sky Sports, with the source reporting that neither winger has a first team future at Leicester under Brendan Rodgers.
