Foxes star refuses to rule out Arsenal switch

 

Riyad Mahrez has heightened speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal after he refused to rule out a move to the Gunners.

 

The Algerian has been the subject of interest across the continent following a number of starring performances in Leicester's Premier League title win last season.

 

His form saw him earn the best WhoScored rating (7.84) in England's top tier last term, with Barcelona supposedly interested in Mahrez.

However, Arsenal, who are hoping to sign Jamie Vardy this summer, are rumoured to be leading the race to sign the 25-year-old, with Mahrez remaining coy on a possible exit when quizzed on a move away this summer.

 

“The season went very well. As you know, we have won the league which was very important. It is incredible. It was by far my best season in my career… I am not putting pressure on myself (for next season). It will be a season about confirming (my ability). Without pressure, I will have to work hard… Leicester is a family club. I would like to stay. I am very happy," Mahrez told Get French Football.

 

When asked on possible interest from Arsenal and Barcelona, he added: “It is flattering to hear, as I said nothing is agreed, nothing is done. We will see… For the moment I have not made a decision. We will see. It is possible that I stay, it is possible that I leave. We will see.”
