According to a series of tweets from L’Équipe consultant Gilles Favard, Arsenal have had a £30million bid rejected for ‘PFA Player of the Year’ and Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez. The wide-man lit up the Premier League last term, scoring 17 league goals and assisting 11 times, culminating in delivering the underdogs the Premier League title.

It is believed that the 25-year-old wants the move to North London. His Leicester counterpart and the Premier League’s second top goalscorer Jamie Vardy rejected a move to the Gunners, a mere two months ago. Favard also reported that Arsenal will make a second bid the Algerian international.

According to the same source Arsenal then bid £35 milllion for Mahrez, who’s agent coincidentally had a meeting with Leicester’s Director of Football, John Rudkin, according to Guardian journalist, Ed Aarons.
