Several clubs were linked with Mahrez last summer, including Manchester City, but a deal broke down at the last moment and he had to stay put at Leicester. However, Pep Guardiola has finally gotten his man, for a club-record £61.02m. Mahrez signed a five-year contract with the Manchester outfit

“I am so pleased to have joined City, a side playing great football under Pep Guardiola,” Mahrez said on the day of his unveiling.

"Watching them from afar has been a pleasure. Pep is committed to playing attacking football, which is perfect for me, and City’s performances last season were outstanding. They’re redefining the English game and I wanted to be a part of it."

The Algerian winger is expected to feature heavily in City's campaign as they look to retain the title. It will be a mouthwatering prospect to watch the likes of De Bruyne, Silva, Sane and Mahrez link up in the coming season.
