Riyad Mahrez

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.

Tuesday came with some pretty big Arsenal gossip updates.

According to reports, Riyad Mahrez and his people have met with Arsene Wenger and the Leicester City winger has agreed to join Arsenal.

Reports from France claim that Riyad Mahrez is more concerned with playing for a club with an established style of playing rather than a mega paypacket which means he must surely want no-one other than Arsenal (or Barca).

Arsene Wenger was asked, again, about signing Riyad Mahrez and he set Arsenal fans a’ flutter with his troll face that many believe he flashes before he signs a player.

Saturday saw the release of Arsenal’s shiny new away and third kits, which were met with mixed responses, as well as news that Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper has broken his hand two weeks ahead of our Premier League clash.

Claudio Ranieri has once again confirmed that Riyah Mahrez is not leaving Leicester City.

On Friday, we beat the MLS All-Stars, Wenger confirmed we’d be signing a new attacking option and we dug into the latest with the Mahrez and Mustafi rumours.

Despite what numerous reports are claiming, Leicester have apparently not received any contact from Arsenal regarding Riyad Mahrez.

The internet went mental on Thursday afternoon when an Algerian website started claiming that Arsenal had a £37.5m deal agree with Leicester for Riyad Mahrez.

It was relatively quiet in the land of Arsenal on Thursday but we still managed to find a few little tidbits which are almost actual news.

With real football closing in on us and just an interlull away, the nonsense that is the transfer window is hard to pay attention to. Here’s what’s been happening in the last 24 hours.

Riyad Mahrez is ‘not bothered’ about the speculation linking him with Arsenal according to his teammate, Demari Gray.

The rumour mill was in overdrive on Tuesday, with the news that we could be about to sign Wissam Ben Yedder breaking on Twitter and Lyon confirming that they’ve rejected a bit from us for Lacazette.

Reports that Riyad Mahrez is joining Arsenal have cooled down after the initial commotion of Saturday but they’re still rumbling on.

Well, another weekend has come and gone and we are, thankfully, a little closer to the new season and regular Arsenal. Despite having actual football…

Saturday saw great excitement as Riyad Mahrez apparently said he wanted to join Arsenal. It took around 24 hours for the story to start falling apart.
