​Man City ready to include Roberts in deal for Leicester winger Mahrez

Manchester City could be ready to include a player of their own in a deal for Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez.

City are hoping to land Mahrez, but they are struggling to meet the huge £95 million valuation of the player from Leicester.

The Manchester Evening News claims that a deal can be done for around £50 million, but City will have to include youngster Patrick Roberts.

Roberts is an impressive player at 21 and has spent the last two seasons on loan at Celtic. Leicester believe that the young winger would help them replace Mahrez.

For his part, Roberts would be keen on the move, as he would get a chance to fight for regular first team football.
