Leicester Captain Wes Morgan Says Riyad Mahrez's Celebration Exemplified His Commitment to the Team

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan reckons Algerian star winger Riyad Mahrez is fully committed to the team, based on the way he celebrated after snatching a point for the Foxes with a last gasp free-kick against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Mahrez was keen on moving to Manchester City in January and was left disappointed with the teams' failure to agree over a transfer fee.

He served a short, self-imposed, exile in a show of frustration, but has since been welcomed back to the fold by manager Claude Puel, his teammates, and Leicester's fans.

"Obviously, yes he is one of our players," Morgan told the Leicester Mercury, following the 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium.
