Leicester City 'close' to signing Riyad Mahrez from Le Havre

Leicester City could reportedly tie up a deal for winger Riyad Mahrez from Le Havre this week.

Mahrez, 22, will sign a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Foxes, according to reports in France.

Nabil Djellit, who works for France Football magazine, told BBC Radio Leicester that personal terms have been agreed, but the two clubs are yet to agree a price.

Mahrez appears ready for a move to England as he has been retweeting 'Welcome to Leicester' messages on his personal Twitter page - @Mahrez22.

He has scored two goals in 17 Ligue 2 appearances for Le Havre this season.
