Riyad Mahrez needs to show greater consistency, according to Leicester boss Claude Puel.

The midfielder, who submitted a transfer request at the end of last season but did not move during the summer, was clearly unhappy at being substituted against West Ham at the weekend.

Mahrez made way for Ben Chilwell after 70 minutes of the 1-1 draw at the London Stadium on Friday night. The 26-year-old was seen to be shaking his head and muttering as he slowly trudged off the pitch.

Puel has since spoken to the former PFA Player of the Year and insists there is no issue.
