RUMOURS: Arsenal's first Mahrez bid rejected

The Gunners have seen a bid of £30 million for the Algeria international rebuffed but are set to return with a £35m offer as they look to bolster their attacking options

Arsenal have seen their first bid for Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez rejected by the Premier League champions, according toL'Equipe.

The Gunners are keen to bring the PFA Player of the Year to the Emirates Stadium ahead of the first match of the season, and made an initial offer of £30 million for the Algeria international.

But the Foxes are reluctant to sell their star man, though Arsenal are likely to increase their bid to £35m in the coming days.
