Eligible through the heritage of his father, Zinedine, Luca has been courted for several years by Les Fennecs, but reports in Algeria claim AFCON-winning coach Belmadi has finally convinced him to switch his allegiance.

According to Echorouk, Belmadi has requested to the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) to begin the process of securing a passport in order for the talented keeper before they meet after COVID-19 pandemic.

It's been claimed the move to secure his services as a long-term option for Les Verts, with current stoppers Raïs M'Bolhi and Azzedine Doukha both aged 33.

Zidane featured 29 times in the Spanish second-tier and kept six clean sheets before football was suspended.
