Since Spurs are supposedly ‘in’ for Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez it’s a good idea that we stay on the loop with the player.
This next bit you’ll love, adore, want to adopt and cherish forever. The player has not handed in an official transfer request, but said earlier in the summer it was “time to move on” and that he had a gentleman’s agreement with the club to do so.
Ah, the old ‘gentleman’s agreement’, how I missed and longed for thee.
That said, it does appear that that the Foxes are are of interest.
City boss Shakespeare just said: “I think I was quoted on the last press day that there was no bids. There was a bid from Roma I was told afterwards, so I would like to put the record straight on that one.
“It was politely declined on the basis that it was a low offer. Of what that offer is, don’t ask me how much because I don’t know and I don’t get involved in that.”
Hey, worst case scenario, if Levy does make a bid, the chances are that it won’t be the worst. Which is good eh? I mean that’s progress right? Guys, guys? Hello?
