Leicester City expect their resolve to keep Riyad Mahrez to be tested over the coming days as interest intensifies in the Algerian winger.
Arsenal and Chelsea have both made enquiries for the 26-year-old though Leicester told his representatives at a meeting on Wednesday that they expect him to stay and will rebuff all offers in this window.
Leicester maintain Arsenal have not made a bid of £35million yet reports in France persist that Arsene Wenger has identified Mahrez as a priority along with a centre back.


Mahrez has not wanted to push to leave Leicester, appreciative of what their initial faith in him has done for his career, but the opportunity to move to a bigger club appeals to him and he is keen for Leicester to listen to reasonable offers.
