da fazobetai: Arsenal seem unrelenting in their pursuit of Leicester’s Jamie Vardy as Arsene Wenger hopes to bring the Englishman to the Emirates next season.
da bwin: And who can blame him? Vardy was beyond terrific during the Foxes’ title winning campaign, and gained recognition from all corners for his goalscoring ability and work-rate.
The 29-year-old even earned himself an international call up, and has already starred for the Three Lions in France, netting a vital goal against Wales.
A real hidden diamond when he was found, Leicester’s scouts have also been praised for finding such a magnificent player who may have otherwise gone under the radar.
However, while the former Fleetwood Town man would certainly be a great addition at Arsenal, it is really another one of the Foxes’ stars of last season the Gunners should turn their attention to: Riyad Mahrez.
And here are FOUR reasons why Arsenal should make the PFA Player of the Year their top transfer priority…
Built for the Gunners
Deft touches, darting runs and close control. Sounds like an Arsenal player doesn’t it? Mahrez is built for the Gunners and would slot right in at the Emirates STadium alongside the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Goals Galore
It is well known that Arsenal need a centre forward. Now while Mahrez may not be that, he provided the best combined goal and assist total in the Premier League last season. He is capable of playing almost anywhere across the midfield, and when given a free reign, he is a defender’s worst nightmare.

Top Flight Experience
This season was Arsenal’s best chance at winning a Premier League title in almost a decade. Next season could be too, and hence the Gunners need quick results.
Mahrez already knows the Premier League, and would need no time to adapt, unlike a number of other similar players linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium, such as Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The Algerian Messi
The real reason Arsenal should make Mahrez their top target is simple: this boy is the real deal. Mahrez has absolutely everything. A great dribbler, a fine finisher and is able to pick a precise pass, it is no wonder the Algerian has gathered so many admirers. Mahrez is world class, not just a one season wonder.
