Riyad Mahrez agent refuses to discuss rumours of Leicester City exit

Riyad Mahrez's agent refuses to discuss rumours that his client could leave Leicester City this summer.

Riyad Mahrez's agent Kamel Bengougam has refused to discuss the idea of his client leaving Leicester City this summer.

The 25-year-old winger has been one of the Foxes' star players in this season's surprising campaign for the Premier League title.

Mahrez has been linked with Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Bengougam has insisted that the player is only focused on this season with Leicester.

"Today the only thing that matters to him is winning the title with Leicester and qualifying for the Champions League," Bengougam told BBC World Service.

"He's very happy. Since arriving at the club only good things have happened to him. He's played at the World Cup, he's moved up into the Premier League. Today, he's playing for the team at the top of the league in England.

"This not the time to talk about that. It's the time to concentrate on finishing the season well. The transfer window will open after the season. Then we'll be able to see if these stories are true or false. What's good with him is that he loves football. He doesn't like what goes on around football."

Leicester are currently at the top of the table, two points above second-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
