Arsenal haven't make any offer to sign the 26years old attacker claims the manager
Leicester City Manager Craig Shakespeare rubbishes speculation linking Riyad Mahrez with a move to Arsenal this summer.
Arsenal haven’t made any offer to sign Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez despite transfer speculation suggesting otherwise, according to manager Craig Shakespeare.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move to sign the 26-year-old Algeria international in the summer transfer window as Arsene Wenger looks to rebuild after last season’s disappointing fifth-place finish.
Mahrez played a vital role in firing Leicester to a remarkable Premier League title in 2016 when the attacking midfielder scored 17 goals and made 11 assists in 37 top-flight appearances.
“I’m not worried,” Shakespeare told Sky Sports News HQ. “Can it be disappointing when a player comes out publically? Yes.
“I think we have to look what is behind that as well, in terms of advice. We have to understand Riyad’s concerns but while he is contracted to the football club, and while we’ve had no bids for him, which we haven’t, he has to be professional and we have to be professional.
“He has to be fully committed here and I expect him to do that.”
Arsenal spent a club-record £52m fee on Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette last week after having signed Bosnian defender Sead Kolasinac on a free transfer from Schalke 04 last month.
