Liverpool 'make contact' over Riyad Mahrez signing

Leicester City boss Claude Puel confident after Riyad Mahrez talks

With Liverpool facing the imminent departure of their star playmaker Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, the Merseyside club have cast their eye to possible replacements - and one comes in the shape of Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez. The Frenchman was subject to interest from Liverpool at the end of the last transfer window, but Arsenal are also sniffing about, and see Lemar as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez.

Mahrez seems to have rediscovered his best form after an extended lull last season as the player and Leicester struggled in their defence of the Premier League title.

Additionally, with the Foxes attempting to finish inside the Top 7 come May, Mahrez will be a pivotal figure for them in the second half of the season.

Liverpool are reportedly closing in on signing Riyad Mahrez.

World class wizard, @Mahrez22.

Figure Skating: Ashley Wagner left off US Olympic team
Asked whether she thought the committee should simplify its selection process and select the top three finishers at the U.S. And Polina Edmunds, the third member of the 2014 team, withdrew from the Championships after skating her short program.

To his credit, Mahrez simply got in with the business of playing football and kept his nose clean as far as his wishes to leave the King Power Stadium was concerned. But, Arsenal now face stiff competition from Liverpool, who have taken the initial steps to secure the player's services this mont.

Liverpool had also targeted a move for Thomas Lemar this month but Monaco insisted this week that the France worldwide would not be allowed to leave before the end of the campaign.

A day is a long time when you have a sack of money to spend.

And that attitude - as well as the Algerian's dazzling abilities - are thought to have caught Klopp's eye, with the reports claiming Liverpool will have no trouble meeting Leicester's £40m asking price.

Nope, he is in fact managed by a former Southampton manager: Leicester's Riyad Mahrez.
