Leicester midfielder Riyad Mahrez has reportedly decided to join Arsenal this summer, ahead of Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool.
The Gunners’ long-term interest in the Foxes man looks to have gathered pace recently, after the 26-year-old informed Leicester that he wishes to leave the club.
Football.London claim that Mahrez has opted for a move to the Emirates over a host of European clubs. Spanish giants Barcelona are even said to hold an interest for the winger, but the player has his heart set on working with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
Mahrez has even turned down clubs with the attraction of Champions League football, just to ensure he can work with the French manager next term.
The playmaker is believed to be valued at €30million by his current employer and with Arsene Wenger set to be given a sizeable budget this summer – the deal is very much within their range.
