Leicester City Star Missing From Matchday Squad as Citizens Table Improved Third Offer

It appears that Manchester City are desperate to bring Riyad Mahrez to the Etihad after it was reported the Citizens had made a third offer for the Leicester City talisman - believed to in the region of £55m.

Mahrez was heavily linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium during the summer, with Arsenal and AS Roma both holding a strong interest in the Algerian winger.

However, a deal never materialised and with Leicester's valuation of the player skyrocketing over the last few months, Manchester City have to meet the Foxes asking price to bring Mahrez to the Etihad on deadline day.
