Real Madrid goalkeeper Luca Zidane could turn his back on France in favour of Algeria.

An U21 France international, Zidane also qualifies for Algeria though his famous father.

Currently on-loan with Racing Santander, Luca holds French and Spanish passports - and Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi has asked his federation to get the ball rolling about securing his status for the African nation.

Local newspaper Echorouk says there's a confidence that Luca will quickly be awarded an Algerian passport should he accept an invitation from Belmadi to commit.

It's claimed Luca has welcomed the proposal and is keen to speak face-to-face with Belmadi.
