The Algerian was named PFA Player of the Year as Leicester shocked to world of football and won the Premier League. However, Eurosport France have revealed Mahrez will leave the Foxes and move to the Emirates.

Leicester boss, Claudio Ranieri, recently insisted the attacker would not leave the King Power Stadium, saying: “It is over, the market is closed here. Mahrez wants to stay.”

It is believed those words were just a tactic to put pressure on the Algerian as the former Chelsea boss had accepted he would not stand in the way of any player who wanted to leave the club.

Mahrez would be the fourth player to move to the Emirates following the signings of Granit Xhaka, Takuma Asano and Rob Holding.
