Arsenal interested in Riyad Mahrez

Arsenal could battle it out with the likes of Chelsea and Barcelona in the pursuit of Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian international has been in prime form for the Foxes, who have become title challengers from relegation favourites this term.

According to The Mirror, the Foxes are bracing themselves for the loss of their star asset with interest high from the player's suitors.

The report adds that the talented attacker may want to remain in England despite interest from the Catalan giants.

Mahrez has amassed 15 goals and 10 assists for the East Midlands outfit this season.
