Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted interest in Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

Mahrez has announced he wants to leave the Foxes this summer.

Wenger, in an interview with beIN Sports, said: “We have not made a bid, but personally, I like the player, yes. I think he made a huge impact when they won the championship.

"Like everybody else at Leicester, this season has been more challenging, but it doesn't take away from his qualities.

"Have we made a bid for him? No. Not yet. No, we have not.

"When I say 'not yet' it means it could happen. It might not happen."
