ARSENE WENGER remained coy when asked whether he was going to sign Leicester's Riyad Mahrez.

The Gunners have been linked with the PFA Player of the Year throughout the summer although Leicester are adamant he is not for sale.

Riyad Mahrez has been linked with a move to Arsenal

Whilst speaking to supporters outside the club's training ground, a fan asked whether he was going to sign Mahrez.

But with a wry smile on his face and a shrug of the shoulders, Wenger said: "Mahrez? We've got plenty of players" before turning his back and walking away.

Last week, Leicester's chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, uploaded a picture of him pinching the ears of Mahrez with a cheeky caption saying: "VS: You not for sale!!"

Gunners fans were hoping that Mahrez would follow in the same footsteps of N'Golo Kante and leave the club but it seems as though the Algerian will remain at the King Power for the foreseeable future.

Once again, Arsenal have been quiet in this summer's transfer window but are looking to bring Alexandre Lacazette and Julian Draxler to the Emirates.
