​Leicester boss Puel determined to keep Mahrez & Vardy

Leicester City manager Claude Puel insists that the Foxes are keen on keeping hold of the services of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.

With the January transfer window fast approaching, the Leicester City duo of Mahrez and Vardy have started being linked with moves away from the King Power Stadium once again.

But despite the speculation, Puel has stated that the club are keen on keeping hold of their two stars.

Puel said: "It will be important to keep our best players and to continue this work. I am confident at this moment in the quality of my team so this isn't the time to talk about January. We will see this in time.

"I think at this moment it is amazing to see Riyad playing. With possession he is good and good without possession. He scored a fantastic goal at Newcastle but at the beginning he was defending on the edge of his own box."
