Riyad Mahrez signed his new contract at Leicester City because he wants to “continue the adventure” with the Premier League champions.
Mahrez played a pivotal role in Leicester surprising everyone and winning the league title last season, and Claudio Ranieri has been desperate to hold on to the Algerian.
The first moment of contention in the Arsenal box occurred late in the half, after Petr Cech had saved at the feet of Jamie Vardy. We are strong and we believe. Summer signing Rob Holding was partnered with Calum Chambers at the centre of an Arsenal defence that shipped four goals at the Emirates Stadium.
Ranieri, whose Leicester side are seeking their first points of the season when they host Arsenal on Saturday, is also confident that midfielder Danny Drinkwater will extend his deal, which now runs until 2018. It’s normal other managers are looking at Leicester players, there’s no message – we are building and want to stay together.
Robert Huth will be back to Leicester to tighten up their rearguard, so the Gunners will face a tough task breaking down the champions, even though they were the only side to beat them twice last season.
Leicester are on a 19-game winless run against Arsenal in the Premier League (D6 L13) and lost both games last season.
Now 18, the Poland Under-18 worldwide has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League for Arsenal. “We know they are a good team with a good manager, but we are ready”, Ranieri said. And he has brought me to be more rigorous with my game.
And Vardy’s wife – Becky – posted a photo of the family’s summer holidays after the England striker turned down the chance to move to Arsenal in the summer.
