Leicester City vice-chairman: ‘Riyad Mahrez wants to stay at the club’

“I think he’s been a phenomenon”, said Marshall, a striker and scorer of memorable goals himself during his playing days – having netted against Atletico Madrid in 1997 in one of Leicester’s rare European sojourns.

They dream, I say “dilly-ding, dilly-dong”, and they wake up and it is a reality.

“This is what he wants, he wants to stay”. This is what he wants.

Top knows fans fear they could lose their prized assets with N’Golo Kante also in demand, but he insisted Leicester do not intend to sell their stars.

Dietmar Hamann joins the list of ex-footballers who still see Leicester City players are mediocre players but fervent footballers around the world believe Jamie Vardy, Mayrez or any other player will do just well like they did in Leicester City.

“It was hard, I understand the situation but it’s happened – we have to find the right way for the club so I had to make the decision”.

He was replaced by Claudio Ranieri who, despite being tipped to be the first manager sacked this season, led the Foxes to the title.

Riyad Mahrez has already told Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha he wants to stay at Leicester City and build on the club’s remarkable Premier League triumph, the club’s vice-chairman has said. “One is a very aggressive, I want to win, I won the Premier League but now I want to win on Saturday”, he said. “They showed a lot of character previous year to stay up in the Premier League”.

Ranieri has admitted that he is torn between urging his team to power over the line and wanting to enjoy the moment, saying on Thursday: “Inside me there are two people”.

“I will kill them with my bare hands, I will throttle them”, Ranieri warned. “It is important to clean our minds and keep going with our jobs”.

“Mahrez is clearly a very talented player, but…” “Never could I imagine this, but it’s good”.

Despite starting the season as 5000/1 outsiders, the Foxes were crowned Premier League champions on Monday night following Tottenham’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
