Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

Tottenham Hotspur are in the mix to sign Algerian international star Riyad Mahrez, according to The Telegraph.
Mahrez won the PFA Player of the Year Award in 2015/16 after his stunning campaign helped Leicester City win the Premier League title.
He netted 17 league goals and provided 11 assists, although this season has taken a big step backwards, scoring six and assisting three.

The Telegraph report that Leicester value the winger at £30 million, and Mahrez is keen to leave to play at a club where he can play Champions League football.
It is claimed Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all in the mix, while Mahrez has an interest in a move to Barcelona.
In the Champions League this season Mahrez netted four goals in nine games as he helped the Foxes reach the quarter-finals.

A disappointing Premier League campaign saw Claudio Ranieri lose his job as club owners panicked over possible relegation, and while Leicester have rallied to move up to ninth place, 26-year-old Mahrez will be tricky to hold onto.
Mahrez would be a player who would improve Tottenham’s options, and fans are intrigued about the possibility of snapping him up this summer.
