Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez favours moving to Arsenal over Roma this month.

The Daily Mail says Mahrez, who has a young family, is understood to prefer to stay in England but featuring again in European competition is a priority.

Arsenal may make a move as they struggle to prise Thomas Lemar from Monaco, while Chelsea are also interested.

"It is flattering whenever you get linked with any big clubs, but as it stands, I have not talked to anyone," said Mahrez. "But we nearly have a month left of the transfer window so we will see what happens."
