Premier League’s top rated player set for summer switch

 

Riyad Mahrez is closing in on move to Arsenal after the attacker agreed personal terms with the Gunners, reports Algerian publication Le Buteur. 

 

Mahrez has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates this summer with Arsenal keen on strengthening their frontline before the transfer window closes. 

 

Rumoured target Julian Draxler is also expected to depart Wolfsburg with it yet to be seen whether manager Arsene Wenger will move to secure the services of the German and Mahrez.

The report claims that Arsenal will pay Mahrez £100,000-a-week with a fee all that stands between the 25-year-old leaving Leicester for London. 

 

Mahrez, who gained a better WhoScored rating (7.84) than any other Premier League player last season, currently has three years left to run on his current deal at the King Power Stadium, yet has supposedly turned down a new contract to remain with the champions.
