Riyad Mahrez 'happy to continue Leicester adventure' after signing new four-year deal with champions amid Arsenal speculation

Riyad Mahrez says it is a pleasure to be a Leicester City player after turning down Arsenal to stay with the Premier League champions.

Mahrez was the Foxes' star man last season as he helped them to an unprecedented and unlikely league title, leading to much speculation over his future this summer.

The Algerian has now signed a new four-year deal at the King Power Stadium, and has tipped his team-mates to impress again this time around.
