The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Gunners this summer and admits he may decide to leave the Premier League champions.
Riyad Mahrez admits he may leave Leicester City
Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez admits that a move away this summer is “possible”, amid mounting speculation surrounding his future at the club, Metro has reported.
The attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal recently, with reports suggesting the Gunners have even opened talks to sign the PFA Player of the Year.
Losing the 25-year-old would be a significant blow for the Foxes, with Mahrez a key component in their unlikely Premier League title win last season, scoring 17 goals in 37 games.
And despite Claudio Ranieri now facing a maiden Champions League campaign next term, Mahrez admits he could move on.
Speaking at a Nike event he said: “It is flattering to hear [link with Arsenal], as I said nothing is agreed, nothing is done.
‘We will see… For the moment I have not made a decision. We will see.”

“It is possible that I stay, it is possible that I leave. We will see.”
Another player set to make a decision on his Leicester future is striker Jamie Vardy, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, with Arsene Wenger both players as ideal additions in building a side capable of mounting a serious title challenge next season.
Vardy is currently away with England for Euro 2016 and is expected to make a decision on his future after the tournament.
