Fuchs: Rachid just like Riyad

- BY JAMES NURSEY

LEICESTER new-boy Rachid Ghezzal is so similar to Riyad Mahrez, Christian Fuchs admits Foxes stars did a double take when he arrived.

Another Algeria wideman, 26-year-old Ghezzal cost £12.5m from Monaco and made his first start in the 4-0 EFL Cup win over Fleetwood. He even curled in a 30-yard screamer.

Full-back Fuchs said: “The first training session, we were like, ‘Hold on, he looks familiar’. Also the way he played and scored his goal looks very familiar. He can be a great addition.”
