​Leicester winger Ghezzal flies to Istanbul ahead of Besiktas switch

Leicester City winger Rachid Ghezzal is heading to Istanbul to complete his transfer to Besiktas.

According to the Daily Mail, the Foxes attacker is ready to sign for the Turkish giants.

Ghezzal spent the past season on loan with Besiktas, while he was linked with moves to Hertha Berlin, Galatasaray and Al Hilal.

Leicester are set to receive a £3.4 million fee for the 29-year-old.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers had no inclination to give Ghezzal regular opportunities in the first team this season.
