Leicester City have announced that winger Riyad Mahrez has signed a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions.

Mahrez, 25, had been linked with making a move to Arsenal during the summer transfer window.

But the Algeria international has followed striker Jamie Vardy in committing his future to Claudio Ranieri's side.

Mahrez scored 17 goals and assisted 11 as the Foxes claimed a shock Premier League title last season.

The forward, who was on target in a 2-1 loss at Hull City in the opening game of 2016-17, was named PFA Player of the Year following his stunning campaign.

Mahrez had said only "two or three clubs" in the world could tempt him to leave the King Power Stadium.

In an interview with France Football, he said: "[The Premier League] is a super league and I would like to stay here as long as possible.

"Now, there are two or three clubs in the world, that if they come for me, it definitely makes you think, if you understand what I am trying to say."
