Chelsea want Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has spoken with Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez about a possible move to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues signed N’Golo Kante from the Foxes last season, and are close to wrapping up a deal for fellow midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

But their raid on Craig Shakespeare’s side hasn’t stopped there.

Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli claims Chelsea are prepared to offer £46million for Mahrez and could seal the deal before Thursday’s deadline.
