Leicester City manager Claude Puel says there is no update in the Riyad Mahrez transfer saga.

Reports have suggested the Algerian is nearing a move to Liverpool, while the Daily Express claims Mahrez wants a switch to Arsenal instead.

The 26-year-old made his intentions known in the summer when he handed in a transfer request and five months down the track, his tact hasn't changed.

"I can only say the same thing - there is nothing new about him," Puel told reporters.

"He is a valuable player for us and I want to keep him.

"I have no problem with him. He works hard in training and is enjoying his football and he is playing very well. After that, it is just speculation.

"Last week, for example, he was said to be signing for another club - and all this speculation.

"I am happy he is staying here and he has a super attitude. If you saw the training session this morning he was smiling and enjoying it. It is amazing."
