​Leicester keen to replace Mahrez with Gladbach winger Hazard

Despite refusing to sell him in the January transfer window, it appears Leicester are planning for life without star player Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian was the subject of multiple transfer offers from Manchester City, with the last offer getting close to £60 million. However, Leicester did not budge, and Mahrez is still their player.

Now there are suggestions in the English media that the club wants Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Thoran Hazard to replace Mahrez in the summer.

Thorgan is the younger brother of Chelsea star Eden Hazard, and he has shown his promise in his career in Germany. He would offer the type of pace and creativity that Leicester will lose if they decide to sell Mahrez.
