Riyad Mahrez's celebration shows he's committed to Leicester, insists captain Wes Morgan after Bournemouth draw

Mahrez flirted with a January move to Manchester City but the two clubs failed to agree a fee – leaving the Algerian playmaker frustrated at the situation.

However the 27-year-old is back in Claude Puel's plans after a short break away from the Foxes and Morgan has praised his team-mate's commitment after his stoppage-time equaliser on Saturday.
