According to recent reports from The Daily Mail, Leicester City want £50million for winger Rihad Mahrez, but potential suitors Arsenal aren’t prepared to go above the £35million mark.
That’s good news for Roma, who have already contacted the Algerian attacker’s agent according to Sky in Italy (via Sky Sports), seemingly in an attempt to leapfrog Arsenal in the race for his signature.
According to our recent poll, however, a significant chunk of Gunners fans disagree with their club’s underwhelming valuation of the 30-cap African.
Indeed, we asked Arsenal supporters last week how much they thought Mahrez was worth and 50% of those who took part rated him at in excess of £40million – with 32% voting for £40milllion-£50million and 18% voting for in excess of £50million.
With Roma now closing in and around half the Arsenal fan base seemingly keen, it’s clearly time for Arsene Wenger to put a £40million-plus sum on the table. Would Mahrez command a place in your starting XI, Arsenal fans? Let us know by commenting below!
