Champions to explore Mahrez option

 

Chelsea may look to tempt Leicester into selling star man Riyad Mahrez, reports the Star on Sunday.

 

Mahrez has enjoyed a superb season for the Foxes, with his WhoScored rating (7.98) better than any other Premier League player.

 

His performances have attracted the interest of a number of teams in England's top tier, with Manchester United also keen on the wideman.

Chelsea could move for the 24-year-old this month, with the Blues tracking Mahrez prior to Jose Mourinho's sacking last month.

 

The west London side may now test Leicester's resolve with a £20m bid, though Leicester are under no pressure to sell one of their prized assets.
