Riyad Mahrez has confirmed that although he was disappointed to see a move away from Leicester fall apart over the summer, he is still playing for a club that he loves, according to the Leicester Mercury.
Arsène Wenger is a known admirer of Mahrez and was interesting in bringing him to the Emirates, the Algerian international having first caught Wenger's eye in the youth ranks of French side Le Havre before making a £450k move to the King Power Stadium in 2014.
Despite Mahrez being an 'Arsenal type of player', it was actually Italian side AS Roma who came closest to signing the 26-year-old over the summer.
