Riyad Mahrez's new Leicester City contract 'has no release clause'

Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez's new contract with the club does not include a release clause, according to a report.

The Algerian international recently put pen to paper on a fresh four-year deal at the King Power Stadium and the agreement has no buyout option, Sky Sports News claims.

Mahrez is said to have attracted interest from a host of clubs over the summer, including Arsenal, but has now quashed speculation surrounding his future.

The 25-year-old netted 17 goals and contributed 11 assists last term to help the Foxes to an unlikely league title.

He went on to be named the Professional Footballers' Association Players' Player of the Year at the end of the campaign.

Fellow Leicester stars Wes Morgan, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Andy King previously signed new deals with Claudio Ranieri's side.
