Mahrez to reject Arsenal for Leicester stay

Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez is likely to snub a move to the Emirates this summer. The Algerian was in top form for the Foxes last term as they clinched a historic league title against the odds.

Mahrez was rumoured to have signalled his desire to join Arsenal last month afte N'Golo Kante decided to part ways with the Premier League holders.

However, The Sun claims that the 25-year-old is not keen on a lucrative move, and will rather follow the suit of fellow teammate Jamie Vardy.

Arsene Wenger's side had previously exercised the buy-back option on Vardy's contract, before he turned down their approach for an extension with the English champions.

Mahrez was named the PFA Player of the Year last season as he notched 17 goals and 11 assists en route to the Foxes' historic triumph.
