Arsenal and Tottenham keen on want-away Mahrez

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is looking set to leave the club this summer as he hopes for them to honour an agreement which allows him to leave at the end of the 2016/17 season, and North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are interested.

According to a report from the Telegraph, former Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri requested that the Algerian international remained at the King Power Stadium for one more season before moving on and with Mahrez having agreed to that, he now wants to seek pastures new.

Without a doubt, the tricky winger would come at a heavy cost. The report claims that the Foxes value their key man at at least £30 million which is a fee that both Arsenal and Spurs would be able to pay, but it’s a matter of who would be willing to.

The 26-year-old is open to remaining in the English game despite links with a move abroad, so Arsenal may fancy their chances at signing Mahrez.
