Shilton: Leicester pair Mahrez, Maguire can be Arsenal stars

Former Leicester City goalkeeper Peter Shilton can see Arsenal raiding his former club this summer.

Shilton said he would raid his former club to sign Riyad Mahrez and Harry Maguire, if he was Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal.

Shilton also said he would sign Burnley keeper Nick Pope, who produced a string of fine saves as the Clarets beat City last week in a key battle in the race for a Europe League spot.

"If l took over Arsenal now my first three signings would be Mahrez and Maguire of Leicester and Pope of Burnley," he tweeted.

It was announced on Friday that Wenger would be leaving Arsenal at the end of the season after 22 years in charge.
