According to reports, Riyad Mahrez has been allowed to break from Algeria training to complete a move away from Leicester

The Leicester City satr was pictured with a fan at a Paris Charles De Gaulle with his destination currently unknown.

But reports are saying he was heading to Stamford Bridge to sign for Champions Chelsea.

Barcelona were also reported to be interested in the 2015-16 title winner but it appears Antonio Conte who has won the race for the wide man in a deal worth around £45million.

The 2016 PFA Player of the Year has started in each of Leicester’s opening three fixtures as the Foxes have battled to keep hold of the player.

But they have now accepted defeat.

Mahrez had been the subject of three bids from Italian Serie A side Roma but a move to LA Liga or within the Premier League was always his target.
