West Ham fans will be well-known to the name of the Algerian wing wizard who is now plying his trade for Olympique Lyonnais. The 24-year-old was a target for a number of Premier League sides back in the summer and the Hammers were also in that list, as per the rumour mill.
A player whose contract runs out with the Ligue 1 outfit in the upcoming summer transfer window, Ghezzal could be up for sale for a bargain and Bilic should definitely try to lure him to the London Stadium.
Premier League clubs Everton and Arsenal are in the race for Ghezzal as per reports, but the East London club can offer him a key role at the club which the two bigger clubs cannot. A quick and tricky winger who can also play centrally and still only 24, Ghezzal would be a brilliant signing at the Olympic Stadium.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
