Arsenal target wants transfer; Agent and Star spotted in Chelsea hotel, confirms Conte interest - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Arsenal have been linked with a move for Riyad Mahrez all summer.
The 25-year-old Leicester City winger had a spectacular season with the Foxes last year and Wenger is keen to add him to his attacking trio alongside Ozil and Sanchez.
It is clear that the Premier League champions are unwilling to sell their best player and the club’s owner has made it abundantly clear with his Instagram posts over the last few days.
However, latest reports claim that the player wishes to play for Arsenal next summer and is hoping that a transfer can be concluded in time.
Mahrez has immense respect for Leicester and will not force a move, but the player is clearly fancying a move to Emirates.
The Algerian is a target for Chelsea as well and was recently spotted in London with an Italian journalist. His agent then confirmed that the Blues want to sign his client as well.
The next few days should be interesting as far as Mahrez’ future is concerned. Leicester are unlikely to sell the player once the season starts, so a transfer might have to be done in the next few days.
