Arsenal could face stiff competition if they remain keen on a move for Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez, with reports suggesting Barcelona will target the Algerian international in a shock transfer.
According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Liam Corless of the Daily Mirror) the Gunners made a late movefor the Foxes star in the final embers of the transfer window. It seems the Londoners aren’t the only admirers of the player either, with Simon Jones of the MailOnline noting interest from the La Liga giants.
Jones’ piece suggested Barca have been “alerted” by Mahrez’s strong start to the campaign.
