Leicester prodigy Riyad Mahrez has finally joined EPL champions Man City for a record €68 million. 27-year-old Algerian winger was looking to move to Etihad in January but Leicester allowed the move only this summer. Recently Mahrez signed five-year deal with Citizens and expressed his happiness about the move:
I am so pleased to have joined City, a side playing great football under Pep Guardiola.
Watching them from afar has been a pleasure. Pep is committed to playing attacking football, which is a perfect for me, and City’s performances last season were outstanding.
They’re redefining the English game and I wanted to be a part of it.
- Riyad Mahrez was named Best Player of the 2016/15 EPL season
