    So reports have him off on the eve of the pre season (sorry Oxford). A bigger loss than Kante in my opinion given his goals and assists. Who would have thought 12 months ago that we would be champions and selling two players for 70 mill though.

    Won't happen I don't think - only Eurosport France claiming it and Arsene just said that they won't be spending big on anyone

    As much as I rate him, it's the one position we really don't need to be strengthening. Plus Wenger won't be spending that kind of money on anyone to start with

    So here's what we know

    A French media source see Mahrez's agent watching Lens V Arsenal and put 2 and 2 together to get 5. They start posting its a done deal

    The English media like a bunch of lemmings jump off the cliff following the story and suddenly it is all over the place

    Arsenal fans are queuing up outside their shop having Mahrez printed on their shirts

    Mahrez is in Glasgow with the squad

    These are the only facts

    Where the Mahrez rumours stem from...
    So it seems reports of an impending Mahrez-to-Arsenal deal appear to have been fueled by the fact that the player's agent, Kamel Bengougam, attended Arsenal's pre-season friendly against Lens on Friday night.

    Bengougam has since reportedly informed The Guardian that Arsenal are not interested in his client (well, he would say that wouldn't he) and his attendance had nothing to do with a potential deal, but surely there is no smoke without fire?

    Mahrez scored a beauty

    We drew 1-1 but won 6-5 on penalties

    How can you say he looked lazy?

    He chased a lost cause down having given the keeper a ten yard head start at one point.

    I thought he gave up and didn't make runs all the time - but again I am comparing him to Vardy!

    Don't see this happening at all tbh, Wenger seems allergic to spending money, no way hes gunna fork out anywhere near the amount hes worth.

    We could cut them a deal though ... £35m and the Ox ... or £25m and the Ox and Walcott ...
