Leicester star Mahrez turns screw on Marseille president Labrune

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has turned the screw on Olympique Marseille president Vincent Labrune.

Famously, Labrune turned down Mahrez, mocking his talent to the player's agents, before he eventually joined the Foxes.

Speaking with Foot Mercato, the Premier League Player of the Year has confessed he grew up a big OM fan.

"I liked Drogba because I liked Marseille when I was little.

"So for Drogba, the one of Marseille, that's why he is in my top 5 (of favourite players)," stated Mahrez.
