After failing to win the Premier League title yet again, Arsenal are ready to heavily reinforce their squad in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have already secured the signing of Swiss international Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach and are now looking to lure Leicester City’s two most important stars Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
The North Londoners are closing in to seal Vardy’s move to the Emirates and have moved in to sign the Algerian international as well.
According to reports (The Sun), Arsenal are in talks to sign PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez from the Foxes.
The Gunners were linked with a move to sign the 25-year-old attacker last summer (Telegraph) as well and will be hoping to finally get their main this time around.
The “immense quality” (Sportsmole) star scored 17 goals and provided 11 assists in 37 league games for Leicester City last season.
Arsenal supporters will be delighted to know that Mahrez is looking to leave (Goal) the Foxes this summer. Will he join Arsene Wenger’s squad? Only time will tell.

Long time in sport and especially in football it comes to money and a lot of money. Each player seeks expression and better contract. Vardy not a phenomenon, he’s a good footballer, direct and quick and has flair and skill to score. He received good passes from Mahrez, Kante and other Leicester players. As a direct and ambitious player it is very suitable for Arsenal, but could not decide anything without Sanchez and Ozil, without Cazorla. Again Wenger is not sufficiently aggressive and make tactical mistake. When he decided to take a player to team with large financial resources, must be total, as do this the large clubs. Wenger must offer a price that nobody can deny. If he believe that Vardy is the right player for Arsenal, had to offer him a contract 140 000 pounds a week. Why. Vardy has a contract for 60 or 70 000 with Leicester. Arsenal offer 120 000 and as understood Liverpool are ready to offer Vardy 140 000. This figure currently Leicester offer him a new contract with a higher amount to keep him in himself. probably 100 000. Plus speculations, accusations, tears and requests from fans and Ranieri. If Arsenal had offered 140 000, then Leicester had nothing to do. To keep Vardy had to offer at least 120 000. This would already be a scandal for the other players in the team. If there not a line in receiving money players in a team, then team spirit crumble. Can Leicester to give 120 000 Mahrez and Kante also. Hardly. But Wenger is timid and indecisive as ever. So is within speculation and lack of results.
