The Algerian is yet to sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 club and with his current deal expiring next summer he has been heavily linked with a move away from the club.
West Ham have made two bids worth £6.2m and £7m for Ghezzal this summer, both turned down.
Last year, Ghezzal played the most appearances he has in a single season for Lyon’s senior side, with 29. During that time he scored eight times from out wide, giving him a total of 61 Ligue 1 appearances. His exploits have also earned him call-ups to the senior Algeria national team, for whom he has earned three caps.
Everton have agreed a €11m fee with Lyon for his transfer, plus a 20% sell-on clause for the Ligue 1 side should Everton decide to offload him in the future.
