I could bid for Mahrez, I like him – Wenger

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has hinted that he could make a move for Leicester winger, Riyad Mahrez.


The Algeria international has admitted that he wants to leave the King Power Stadium this summer.

Mahrez has already been transfer listed by the former Premier League champions and Wenger says he could take advantage.

“We have not made a bid, but personally, I like the player, yes. I think he made a huge impact when they won the championship,” the Frenchman told beIN Sports.

“Like everybody else at Leicester, this season has been more challenging, but it doesn’t take away from his qualities.

“Have we made a bid for him? No. Not yet. No, we have not.

“When I say, ‘not yet’, it means it could happen. It might not happen.”
