One transfer saga which looks like it may go on and on is the future of Riyad Mahrez amid mixed reports about what that may hold.
The 2015-16 PFA Players’ Player of the Year has been linked with a move away from Leicester City with a number of clubs reportedly vying for his signature.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma are at the front of the queue if recent rumours are anything to go by and it seems that Leicester have accepted that the player will leave.

AS Roma have reportedly already offered £30 million plus bonuses for the man who scored 17 Premier League goals in the 2015-16 season.
