While Arsenal have not made a bid for
Riyad Mahrez, one could be forthcoming.
Arsene Wenger admitted Arsenal are
interested in signing Leicester City's
wantaway star Riyad Mahrez.
Mahrez, 26, has announced his intention to
leave 2015-16 Premier League champions
Leicester, alerting Wenger and Arsenal.
Algeria international Mahrez was named
the PFA Player of the Year and scored 17
league goals as Leicester shocked the world by
winning the title, while he netted six times
and assisted three goals in 2016-17.
While Arsenal have not made a bid for
Mahrez – who wants to play regular
Champions League football – one could be
forthcoming.
"We have not made a bid, but personally, I
like the player, yes. I think he made a huge
impact when they won the championship,"
Wenger told beIN Sports.
"Like everybody else at Leicester, this season
has been more challenging, but it doesn't take
away from his qualities.
"Have we made a bid for him? No. Not yet.
No, we have not.
"When I say 'not yet' it means it could
happen. It might not happen."
