Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have been linked with Riyad Mahrez of Leicester City in the January transfer window.
Gary Lineker has stated on social networking site Twitter that Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is not for sale.
The former Leicester striker made the comment following Mahrez’s wonderful performance and goal against Watford on Saturday afternoon.
The 26-year-old winger played well and scored in the Foxes’ 2-0 victory over Watford at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League.
The Algeria international has been linked with moves away from Leicester in the January transfer window.
According to The Express, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are interested in signing Mahrez as a replacement for Brazil international attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona earlier in the January transfer window.
The report has also claimed that Mahrez’s preference is to sign for Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal in the January transfer window, with The Daily Star crediting the Gunners with interest in the former Le Havre star as well.
Former Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur striker Lineker, though, seems to have suggested on Twitter that Mahrez is not for sale in the January transfer window.
