Riyad Mahrez at Arsenal's Carabao Cup win over Chelsea
Thursday 25 January 2018 11:55, UK
Riyad Mahrez was at the Emirates to watch Arsenal's 2-1 win over Chelsea in their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
Sky Sports News has been told the player's surprise appearance in north London on Wednesday was not connected to a potential transfer.
Mahrez remains good friends with former team-mate N'Golo Kante, who played for Chelsea in the fixture, and it is understood the pair met up after the game.
Arsene Wenger is a fan of Mahrez, according to Sky sources, and Arsenal are reportedly still interested in a deal for the Algerian - who handed in a transfer request last August.
Leicester manager Claude Puel has claimed Mahrez could cost £100m in the summer transfer window.
