A report claims that Riyad Mahrez will not push through a move away from Leicester City should Arsenal come calling, as he is happy at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is happy to remain at the club and will not look to push through a move to Arsenal, according to a report.

The Algeria international has been tipped to join N'Golo Kante in leaving the King Power Stadium this summer after a stellar campaign last time out.

Mahrez was named as the PFA Player of the Year at the end of a season that saw him score 17 goals and make a further 11 assists for the shock title winners.

Reports emerged last month suggesting that the 25-year-old's switch to Arsenal was near completion, but The Sun claims that Mahrez is not motivated by a big-money move and is willing to stay at City.

Any decision over the midfielder's future could be decided in the coming days, however, as Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri admitted earlier this week that transfer speculation may unsettle his star player if it were to drag on into the new season.
