Tottenham reportedly handed huge boost in hopes of signing attacker

According to reports, Arsenal and Tottenham target Riyadh Mahrez will be allowed to leave Tottenham this month should Leicester receive a good offer.

The Algerian international asked to leave Leicester during the summer but in the end, no club was able to meet his asking price.

Italian giants Roma were the top contenders at the time and had three bids rejected.

Mahrez has returned to top form and has scored five goals form his last ten Premier League appearances to take his tally to several goals and as man assists for the season.

This is likely to escalate his market value. Leicester have moved up to eighth place on the League standings and will be looking to challenge for a place in Europa under Claude Puel.

However the Foxes will not deny their star man a dream move should they receive a decent offer from another club.
