Riyad Mahrez staying at Leicester City

Riyad Mahrez intends to stay at Leicester City until at least the end of the season, despite reports linking him with a host of clubs.

Riyad Mahrez has revealed that he will "stay until the end of the season" at Leicester City.

The Algerian has scored 11 goals and assisted a further seven in the Premier League this term, which has resulted in links with a host of clubs in England and abroad.

However, the 24-year-old insisted that his loyalty towards the Foxes will see him remain at the King Power Stadium until at least the summer.

"It's best for me to stay until the end of the season. I was at Le Havre [and] I had six months left but nobody came to get me. Leicester tried very hard to get me. I could feel that they wanted me," he told RMC.

"I took the decision without knowing the culture or the area. It was a risk. When you come from far away and you end up in the Premier League it makes you happy. I am happy that I signed for Leicester."

Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal have all been credited with an interest in the playmaker's services.
