Roma are interested in snapping up Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
After bagging the Player of the Year award last year, Mahrez had an indifferent last season with Leicester and scored just six goals and provided four assists in the Premier League as the Foxes struggled.
However, the Algerian remains a much coveted player this summer and Mahrez is believed to be keen to leave Leicester, with Arsenal interested in taking him to the Emirates.
But the Gunners are set to face competition from Serie A for the winger’s signature as according to Italian daily Leggo, Roma are showing an interest in taking him to Italy this summer.
The Giallorossi are looking to add more creative talent to their squad and it has been claimed Mahrez’s name features prominently on Roma sporting director Monchi’s wishlist.
