Luca Zidane, son of France's world cup-winning playmaker Zinedine, has switched international allegiance to Algeria, putting the goalkeeper in line to follow in his father’s footsteps and play at the world cup.
Luca plays for Spanish second-division outfit Granada and his switch of allegiance is an indication the Algerians are seeking to add more options to their goalkeeping department.
Luca Zidane, 27, is the second of four brothers, all of whom came through the Real Madrid academy.
