According to media report, Arsenal hope of signing Riyad Mahrez could go through in the next 48 hours, as there are reports that the Leicester winger has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal.

The Algeria international has been strongly linked with a £40m move to the Emirates 

A source close to the player, told reporters that terms regarding salary, length of contract and bonuses have been in place for ‘some time already’, and is just a matter of time now, for the player to move. But I doubt if Leicester City would allow Mahrez leave, giving his vital contributions to the team last season…but they let Kante leave…

Leicester manager was reported to have said to the player: about the risks of joining the Gunners.

‘Mahrez for us is very important,’ he said.

‘If he goes into another big team, there are so many stars. Why? Stay with us, it’s much better.

‘He’s our champion. If he goes to another team, there are so many champions.’
