Reported Arsenal target Riyad Mahrez scored a stunning goal for Leicester City in their 3-2 win against Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday, and Gunners fans have urged their club to sign the Algerian.
The Mirror reported back in October that the north London outfit and arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur are ready to go head-to-head during the January transfer window to complete a £30m deal for the winger.
Following a disappointing personal campaign last time out, the 26-year-old is starting to recapture the form that saw him win the 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year award, and brilliant strike against the Magpies now means he has five goals and five assists in 17 appearances in all competitions this term.
Arsenal supporters were quick to have their say on his display via social media, and while one said “I want Mahrez so bad”, another said “surely we’ve got to replace Walcott with Mahrez in January”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
