African star keen on a move to either Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur

According to reports, Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez is keen to move to either Arsenal or Tottenham during the January transfer window.

Mahrez made a name for himself after playing a pivotal role in helping the Foxes shock the Football World by winning the 2015/16 Premier League title.

Arsenal may need to bring in quality players to their side considering that the contracts of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil which expire at the end of the season have yet to be extended.  The 2016 PFA Player of the year has been touted as one of the reinforcements that they could bring in.

Mahrez had originally been hoping to leave Leicester during the January transfer window, however the Foxes demanded £50 million for the Algerian and this proved to be too high for interested clubs.

A deal is very likely to take place during the January transfer window. It remains to be seen if Leicester will be willing to lower their asking price.
