He not only contributed to the goals but was also there to assist Jamie Vardy. His performances against Chelsea and Manchester City were stunning which set Leicester City on course of an historic glory.

Interest from Barcelona

Though there is still chance that Barcelona may try to steal the deal and Mahrez would surely say yes but from a player point of view Arsenal would grant him more playing time.
