Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur linked winger Riyad Mahrez has arrived at Barcelona Airport, it has been claimed. 

The Leicester City star has been tipped to move on from the King Power Stadium all summer, but Roma were unable to agree a fee for his services and dropped their interest.




He has been linked with both Chelsea and Tottenham on deadline day, but there could be a twist in the tail which sees Mahrez end up playing his football in Spain.

According to French broadcaster SFR Sport, Mahrez has just got off a plane in Barcelona.

 


The clock is ticking down on the transfer window, meaning Barcelona will have to act quickly to put an agreement in place with Leicester for Mahrez.

It has been claimed Leicester are looking at around the £40m mark to sell the Algeria international, a figure well within Barcelona's reach.

If Chelsea and Spurs do want Mahrez, they are now staring down the barrel of a gun as Barcelona close in.
