Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal has revealed he hasn’t decided where he will be playing his football next season.

The Algerian international’s contract at his current club expires at the end of thiscampaign, and he is free to sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of a summer move. Speaking to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta Dello Sport (translation by Sports Witness), Ghezzal explained he has not settled on a possible destination with England, Spain and Italy all being considered.

“The proposals are being studied. I want an ambitious project, in France or abroad. Maybe I have more affinity with Spanish football, but I do not rule out the Premier League or Serie A, where my brother Kader played, who now takes care of all these things.”

It was reported in December that West Ham and Tottenham were interested in Ghezzal but it seems as though the midfielder is still considering his options.

The 24 year old has not had the best of seasons, most likely due to being unsettled after failing to agree a new deal with Lyon. In 27 appearances in all competitions this campaign, the winger has scored two goals and provided seven assists. He has managed just 11 starts in the league this season, and has very much been in and out of Lyon’s first team.
