Mahrez to bid adieu to the English Champions

Reported Chelsea and Arsenal target Riyad Mahrez could be on the move this summer after he signalled his agent to look for a fresh challenge away from the King Power Stadium.

The 25-year-old was named the PFA Player of the Year last season as he helped the Foxes attain an unprecedented and historic league title.

According to The Guardian, the Algerian international is set to turn down a fresh £80,000-a-week contract at Leicester City amid strong interest from several elite clubs.

It is added that the player has highlighted his desire to join a bigger club with fellow teammate N'Golo Kante seemingly close to departing the English champions.

The Foxes are thought to have given up on Kante having already agreed on a £32m fee with Chelsea.

Mahrez has three years left on his existing contract which was inked in August 2015.
