Leicester City ace Riyad Mahrez is a top transfer target for Liverpool, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

The Italian outlet claim that the reigning PFA Player of the Year is a priority for manager Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Mahrez featured for Leicester City on Monday night as the Foxes beat Liverpool 3-1.

The Algerian played a key role as Leicester won the Premier League title last season, scoring 17 goals and providing 11 assists.

This time around both he and his team have found it tougher, with Leicester battling relegation.

Mahrez has scored four goals and assisted three in the Premier League, although he does have four Champions League strikes to his name.

The winger would be an impressive addition for Liverpool, but their chances of signing him could hinge on the Reds landing a top four place.

They are currently in fifth and face a pivotal game against rivals Arsenal this weekend.
