LONDON. — Riyad Mahrez has fuelled speculation of a possible summer transfer away from Leicester City by lauding over English Premier League soccer title winners Chelsea.
The 26-year-old has persistently been linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium ever since his heroic performances helped guide the Foxes to glory last campaign.
The Algerian hasn’t been at his sparkling best this season, scoring just 10 goals so far in all competitions, as Leicester struggled to replicate their 2015/16 form.
Manchester City hosted Leicester on Saturday, and ahead of kick-off at the Etihad Stadium French TV channel SFR Sport managed to record an intriguing snippet of Mahrez’s conversation with Islam Slimani.
The striker is on the ball with the latest news, telling Mahrez en route to the changing rooms, “hey, Chelsea are champions”, following their 1-0 victory at West Brom on Friday night. — The Mirror
