What exactly is going on here? He has left the Algerian international camp to formalise a move away from Leicester City, but nobody seems to have a clue where he will be moving to.

In the last couple of hours, Chelsea had emerged as the new favourites to secure the services of Mahrez. Contrary to these reports, Sky have confirmed that the Chelsea rumours are not true. The winger has been spotted in London, but there are no confirmed reports of his whereabouts

Arsenal have declared that they are not interested in signing the 26-year-old, despite a move nearly being completed just last summer. With Arsenal no longer interested and the Chelsea rumours not true, could Spurs complete the signing of Mahrez? We are told there is no interest from Spurs, but stranger things have happened…

Dismal performances from the likes of Christian Eriksen and Heung-min Son against Burnley on Sunday has brought suggestions that a big name needs to come in to push them to their full potential. Mahrez could be the man to do that.
