Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners Pursuing Riyad Mahrez Deal, Mauro Icardi Rumours

Arsenal will begin their bid to sign Leicester City attacker Riyad Mahrez in the weeks to come, according to the latest reports, but Inter forward Mauro Icardi has ruled out any chance of moving to the Emirates Stadium.

According to French outlet Foot365, the Gunners are ready to make good on their interest in Algeria international Mahrez this winter amid the injury crisis that's been plaguing their squad (h/t Metro's Will Giles).

Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck and Jack Wilshere have all endured spells on the sidelines this season, affecting manager Arsene Wenger's options in attack and midfield.
