RIYAD MAHREZ INTERVIEW...

...He says he was '50-50' about leaving in the summer of 2016, once Leicester's title was won. He spoke to Arsenal's chief transfer negotiator, Dick Law, at that time. His representatives were in touch with Arsene Wenger. He feels that was the closest he has come to leaving and that Arsenal were the best fit for his skills.

And what became of that chance? 'I don't know what happened,' he shrugs. 'It's football. You never know what will happen.' Luis Suarez was not nearly so philosophical when Arsenal's approach for him came to nothing three summers earlier.

Mahrez's reticence about discussing this stems from the self-effacing nature he shares with friend, former team-mate and occasional tennis partner N'Golo Kante.

But Kante left Leicester for Chelsea and a second successive title, while Mahrez stayed and signed a £100,000-a-week deal. There was no buy-out clause, which has given Leicester a strong hand.

'N'Golo had a clause and when he left they stopped those clauses,' Mahrez says. 'They said they would never give one to anyone after that.' And though he speaks of Leicester with affection, Mahrez clearly feels he does not know all that there is to know about which clubs have been interested in him in the past 18 months.

'They didn't want to sell me. They said, "Yes, (there will be) no problem if something comes up",' he says, 'but behind the scenes they were blocking stuff — talking to clubs but just not wanting to sell me. But I'm confident. Contract or no contract, I believe I will get to the top. When you have quality, and show it, there's no problem...'
