PARIS, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Algerian winger Rachid Ghezzal has moved from Ligue 1 club Monaco to Premier League side Leicester City, both clubs announced on Sunday.

The 26-year-old winger signed a four-year contract with his new club for an undisclosed fee.

He will reunite with Leicester City manager Claude Puel, who was in charge of Lyon where the winger progressed through the academy.

"I'm very excited and very happy to be here. I know the coach from Lyon and this is where I want to be. It's a good club and an ambitious one too. Leicester City has many great players and I hope we will have a great season," said Ghezzal after signing his contract.

Ghezzal joined Lyon's academy at the age of 12, and signed his first professional contract with the club in 2010. The winger spent two years with Lyon B before being promoted to the first team. His senior debut arrived in October 2012 in the UEFA Europa League.

"He's an exciting addition to our group who will bring creativity and competition ahead of an important season for us. I know his qualities from my time at Lyon, where he was in the academy, and I look forward to seeing him test himself in the Premier League," Puel talked about the club's latest signing.

Ghezzal made his senior debut for the Algerian national team in March 2015 and played in each of the team's group stage games at the 2017 African Cup of Nations. He will be Leicester City's fifth signing this summer. Enditem
