Manchester City footballer Riyad Mahrez 'hit with a driving ban after being caught speeding at 120mph on a motorway... with star fined £2,5000 and barred from the roads for 56 days'

Manchester City footballer Riyad Mahrez has been struck with a driving ban after being caught speeding at 120mph on a motorway, according to reports.

The 30-year-old, as claimed by The Sun, was seen flagrantly breaking the national limit on the M6 - and he has now been punished by magistrates.

Mahrez is believed to have been handed a £2,500 fine and been barred from the roads for 56 days after his latest indiscretion.

Behind the wheel of his Audi RS6, a vehicle valued at a hefty £100,000, Mahrez committed the offence in May last year.
