Arsenal fan chases down Arsene Wenger and demands he signs Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez
The Algeria midfielder has been linked with a £37million move to the Emirates from the King Power after amazing title win
ARSENE WENGER was chased down by a fan demanding the Arsenal boss signs Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez.
The Gunners manager is famously frugal in the Premier League transfer window but has been linked with a £37million move for the Algerian top-flight champion that some Gooners would clearly love.
The Foxes have already lost midfield anchorman N’Golo Kante to Chelsea this summer and they will be desperate not to lose any more of their first-team stars.
The Gunners were also interested in England striker Jamie Vardy but he snubbed them and signed a new long-term deal at the King Power stadium.
Brilliant midfielder, Mahrez, scored 17 league goals as his side stunned the world to win last season’s title at crazy odds of 5000/1.
And he collected the PFA Player of the Year with the nation’s players recognising his contribution to the Hollywood blockbuster story.
Mahrez’s attacking prowess, small frame and versatility to be able to play anywhere in attack make the 25-year-old an archetypal Wenger signing.
But his hefty price tag might put off the famously thrifty Gunners boss who usually prefers to unearth cheaper talents.
