Leicester captain Wes Morgan lauds Riyad Mahrez for 'getting straight back to work' after his January move to Man City failed to materialise

Riyad Mahrez has received high praise from Leicester captain Wes Morgan for bouncing back from missing out on a January move to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side offered up to £60million to prise Mahrez away from the King Power but Leicester refused to do business with the Premier League leaders.

Mahrez was 'very low' after a deal failed to materialise and was given time off by manager Claude Puel.
