Arsenal, Manchester United 'to battle for £29m Riyad Mahrez'

Manchester United are reportedly considering challenging Arsenal for the signature of Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez for £29m when the transfer window reopens in January.

Arsenal and Manchester United are both reportedly interested in signing Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Algerian has been one of the Premier League's standout performers to help the Foxes top the table at Christmas, scoring 13 goals and creating six more.

The 24-year-old and Jamie Vardy have been linked with moves away from the King Power Stadium next month having shone during Leicester's meteoric rise to the summit of the Premier League.

Manager Claudio Ranieri has ruled out selling his prized duo, but French publication Le 10 Sport reports that United are willing to test the league leaders' resolve with a bid of £29m for Mahrez.

Arsenal are also understood to be keeping tabs on the winger, who joined the Foxes for just £400,000 from Le Havre last year.
