Riyadh Mahrez on his way to Arsenal
By Metro Sport Reporter
Thursday 4 Jan 2018 8:17 am
Leicester City have agreed to let Riyad Mahrez leave in January if they receive a substantial offer, according to reports in France.
The Algeria international has recaptured his best form since Claude Puel was appointed as Craig Shakespeare’s successor in October, but is still keen to secure a move to a top six Premier League club.
Arsenal were heavily linked with a move for the 26-year-old in the summer with Arsene Wenger even going as far as to suggest he was considering making a bid.
Barcelona were also said to be monitoring the 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year’s situation, but withdrew their interest after managing to complete the £90million signing of Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund.
Mahrez handed in a formal transfer request in the opening weeks of the window but the only club to lodge an official bid were Roma, who Mahrez had little interest in joining.
Reports claimed last week that Arsenal, who could yet lose Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City this month, were preparing an offer for Mahrez and France Football claims that Leicester will allow their star man to depart should their valuation of the player be met.
Roma made three offers in the summer, the final one of £32m reportedly fell £8m shy of the Foxes’ asking price.

Re: Riyadh Mahrez on his way to Arsenal
I believe Iwobi will make it with any team that plays control football. Thus Iwobi is not toast.
A great Russia 2018 showing would be very helpful for his career.

The Algeria international, who handed in a transfer request in the summer, has been linked with a transfer to Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham during the January transfer window.
Puel says he wants to keep his star players, and claims that he is confident the winger will stay at the King Power Stadium beyond the January window.
Click here to listen to the latest Transfer Talk podcast where Liverpool's deal for Virgil van Dijk and the futures of Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Alexis Sanchez were among the topics discussed.
The Leicester manager said: "I want to keep all my best players and Riyad is an important player in the team for us.
"When I discussed things with him, he had a good attitude and is enjoying his football
"He is a happy player and likes to play with his teammates.
"His statistics have improved, with assists and scoring. Of course I want him to continue all this good work."
Leicester City manager Claude Puel has held positive talks with winger Riyad Mahrez
Puel also denied rumours that Mahrez, who was the subject of a £32m bid from Roma in the summer, had asked to quit the club in January.
When asked if the speculation was true he dismissed it, saying: "No he is happy with the squad, it is speculation but for me it is no problem.
"He is happy to play with this team, he enjoys his football and this is the most important thing.
Leicester City head to Fleetwood Town in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday, but striker Jamie Vardy is a serious doubt to face his former club.
Puel says Vardy, who joined Leicester from Fleetwood for £1m in 2012, will not risk his star striker unless he proves his fitness and is 100 per cent ready after a groin problem.
He said: "We will see. If he cannot be 100 per cent, we will not risk him.
"He is not training with the team. He is just doing some exercises in the gym. For the moment, it is not good for him."
Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson are missing with hamstring injuries, but Adrien Silva is expected to start following his delayed debut on New Year's Day.
The midfielder is now registered after the Foxes missed the deadline by 14 seconds in August as they tried to push through a £22m deal from Sporting Lisbon.
"For Simpson, I don't know when he can come back into competition," said Puel. "For now, he is in the gym.
"Wes, I think it is not too bad, but I think he will be out for a few weeks."

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Riyadh Mahrez on his way to Arsenal
With the way he is currently playing, does Iwobi deserve a place in the Super Eagles going to Russia? Even if he goes, what makes you believe he will be any better than he currently is for Arsenal?joao wrote:I believe Iwobi will make it with any team that plays control football.

Iwobi is younger, Mahrez best years are behind him
Iwobi is going to the Mundial, Mahrez is watching the World Cup from his hotel room at Disney world
Iwobi needs 2-3 more years to play at his best, Mahrez at best has 2 seasons before his inevitable return to France Ligue for retirement paycheck or stay in London to play for whatever team Sam Allardyce will be rescuing from relegation at that time.
