Riyad Mahrez Says He Wants to Fight for Manchester City Place Amid Exit Rumours

Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has said he is ready to fight for a starting spot at the club following his heroics on Sunday against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Algeria international made a surprise start in the match, with City needing three points to guarantee the Premier League title ahead of Liverpool. Mahrez set up Aymeric Laporte's goal to put City 2-1 ahead before he netted the third himself in a 4-1 win.

Following his transfer from Leicester City last summer, Mahrez has endured an inconsistent first season at the Etihad Stadium, prompting some speculation about his future.
