Agent discusses reports having Leicester City star on Arsenal radar
Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez is not thinking about a possible move to Arsenal or FC Barcelona, according to his agent.
The Egyptian forward has been strongly linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium following his superb start to the 2015/2016 campaign, but according to his agent, he’s not focusing on any speculation as he’s happy where he is.
Mahrez was influential in the Foxes‘ 3-2 win over local-rivals Aston Villa last weekend, helping them come from 2-0 down to win the game keeping Claudio Ranieri‘s men unbeaten so far this season.
The 24-year-old has so far netted himself four goals and two assists in the first five games, but according to Kamel Bengougam, who is he representative, he is now paying attentions to rumours linking him with a move to a bigger club.
Agent Speaks
“Riyad is very happy at Leicester and he just signed a new contract at the club last month,” Bengougam told ESPN FC.
“Riyad is not thinking about the rumours and is focused on his season with Leicester and wants to continue his fine form.”
