Riyad Mahrez 'very happy' at Leicester, despite Arsenal, Barca links - agent

Riyad Mahrez's agent has told ESPN FC that the midfielder is happy at Leicester City despite links with some of Europe's top clubs.

Mahrez, 24, has been a revelation for Leicester City so far this season, scoring four goals to help the club to an unbeaten start to the campaign.

The Algeria international has been one of the stars of the new Premier League season and he was involved in all three of Leicester's goals in last weekend's victory over Aston Villa, with reports suggesting Arsenal and Barcelona are keeping tabs on his situation.

However Mahrez's agent, Kamel Bengougam, has played down the speculation and insists the player is only focusing on doing his best for Leicester.

"Riyad is very happy at Leicester and he just signed a new contract at the club last month," Bengougam told ESPN FC. "Riyad is not thinking about the rumours and is focused on his season with Leicester and wants to continue his fine form."

Mahrez has established himself as a big fans' favourite at the King Power Stadium following his move from Le Havre in January 2014.
