Leicester City Archives: 08/2016

Arsene Wenger admitted ahead of our match against Leicester City on Saturday that we have to address our defensive weakness.

Arsene Wenger has confirmed, ahead of our Premier League trip to Leicester, that Aaron Ramsey and Alex Iwobi are both up to three weeks away from returning to the Arsenal senior squad.

Another Arsenal transfer saga has ended as Riyad Mahrez signed a new deal to stay at Leicester until 2020, confirming what we said all along – he’d be going nowhere.

After Arsenal lost to Liverpool on Sunday, talk in the Sky Sports studio inevitably turned to the Gunners’ lack of new signings this summer with Thierry Henry even raising the valid point that players no longer want to come to us.

Leicester City’s 2-1 loss to Hull on the opening day of the season has shown perhaps they’re more similar to Arsenal than they’d like to think.

Depending on where you do your reading, you could be sitting here today believing that Riyad Mahrez wants to join Arsenal or stay at Leicester City.

Thursday’s headlines were dominated by the news that Shkodran Mustafi’s agent confirmed an agreement between his client and Arsenal but other stuff happened to, believe it or not.

Although everyone’s still talking about Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal and reporting on it, there’s actually been very little change one way or the other.

Claudio Ranieri has faced his latest round of questioning about Leicester City winger, Riyad Mahrez, with a mixture of confusion and indigence.

The Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal saga coughs and splutters on. However, when before it seemed as if the Leicester City man could have a slight chance of coming to north London, now it’s not looking likely. At all.

Who wants to read about our failure to sign a centre forward and search for Johnny Evans?

According to L’Equipe, Arsenal have submitted a second bid of £35m for Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City have reportedly made a £23m bid for Santos winger, Gabriel Barbosa.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he feels guilt and regret following Arsenal’s disappointing title run last season.

Saturday was full of post-match comments from Arsene Wenger and players following our 8-0 win over Viking FK but of course there was still the usual amount of shady gossip doing the rounds.

Claudio Ranieri has insisted that Riyad Mahrez is staying with Leicester City for about the 100th time.

The big news on Wednesday was that Julian Draxler has made it very public that he wants to leave Wolfsburg.

The latest development on the Riyad Mahrez-go-round (GET IT?!!) is that Leicester City have signed a new winger.

Arsenal legend, Lauren, has slated Olivier Giroud, claiming that the striker lacks the X-Factor. Oh and apparently we don’t need Mahrez either.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to hand Arsene Wenger even more money in order for Arsenal to sign some more players during this transfer window.
