A report claims that Arsenal are close to sealing a deal for Leicester City's wantaway attacker Riyad Mahrez.

Arsenal are reportedly close to sealing a deal for Leicester City attacker Riyad Mahrez.

Last month, it was claimed that Arsenal had turned to the Algerian international after becoming frustrated in their pursuit of AS Monaco duo Thomas Lemar and Kylian Mbappe.

According to Calciomercato, the Gunners have had successful talks with Leicester over the last few days, and the 26-year-old is expected to arrive at the Emirates Stadium before the end of next week.

In May, Mahrez revealed that he wanted to leave Leicester in this summer's transfer window, just over 12 months after helping the Foxes land the Premier League title.

Mahrez scored 10 times in all competitions for Leicester last season, with four of those coming in nine Champions League matches as the Foxes reached the quarter-finals of the competition.

Arsenal's only summer arrival thus far has been Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer from Schalke 04.
