Leicester City’s boss Claude Puel has said that he remains confident Riyad Mahrez will stay put this month, despite rumours suggesting that the he has asked to leave.
Riyad Mahrez handed in a transfer request at the King Power Stadium in the summer after deciding that he wanted to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
Roma had a couple of bids rejected by the Foxes and, with the window now back open until the end of January, there has been talk of the Algeria international again pushing for an exit.
Puel has spoken face-to-face with the 26-year-old, however, and does not expect him to move on any time soon.
“He is happy with the squad, it is speculation but for me it is no problem,” Puel told reporters. “He is happy to play with this team, he enjoys his football and this is the most important thing.
“I want to keep all my best players and Riyad is an important player in the team for us. When I discussed things with him, he had a good attitude and is enjoying his football
“He is a happy player and likes to play with his teammates. His statistics have improved, with assists and scoring. Of course I want him to continue all this good work.”
