Mahrez Signs New Four-Year Contract At Leicester
Stay tuned for information on “Leicester City vs. Arsenal TV channel” and “Leicester City vs. Arsenal watch online” so you don’t miss the match.
The performance of the Gunners against the Reds at the Emirates Stadium last week was disappointing.
Amid reported interest from Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, Mahrez, one of the Foxes’ key players as they lifted the Premier League title last season has committed his future to the East-Midlanders, delighting supporters in the process.
Bielik joined the North London club back in January 2015 as a 17-year-old from Legia Warsaw.
In an entertaining and ver contest, the Premier League’s top two last season fought out a stalemate with chances in few and far between. Arsenal beat the champions home and away last season.
Although, with Mahrez now penning a new four-year contract to Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City, any potential rumours will surely be nipped in the bud.
The England worldwide, who finished last season with 24 league goals, had been mulling over an offer to join Arsenal as he linked up with the national squad at Euro 2016 but ultimately chose to remain at the King Power Stadium.
“We are now in the Champions League and we need something more to play against the big teams”, said manager Ranieri.
That shirt is about as much use now as Nicklas Bendtner on a bad day, as last season’s PFA Player of the Year sent out a message to the footballing world by signing a new contract that will keep him at the King Power Stadium until 2020. However, the defending champs of the league in Leicester City suffered arguably the worst result possible.
“We have very good players”.
The fans got behind them again, the mood changed and Leicester looked reminiscent of last season when they found their rhythm.
Arsenal centre half Rob Holding lived up to his name by pulling Robert Huth’s shirt in the penalty box early on.
Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil are ready to go after the Euro’s, however, and Wenger may gamble on the fitness of Laurent Koscielny.
Aaron Ramsey, a semi-finalist with Wales at Euro 2016, did play against Liverpool, only to succumb to a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out until after the forthcoming worldwide break.
Ranieri, though, has warned that his players are still some way short of full match fitness.
