German sportswear giants Adidas were left red-faced today after an eagle-eyed Chelsea fan spotted no.7 Riyad Mahrez shirts being sold on the brand’s official website.

The Leicester City ace has been the subject of interest from Arsenal in recent days, with the Gunners believed to have held talks with the Algerian over a move to the Emirates.

The 25-year-old was crowned PFA Player of the Year after inspiring Leicester City to their first league title in their 132-year history but Claudio Ranieri insisted the winger would be staying with the Premier League champions yesterday.

Antonio Conte’s side have already stole one star from Leicester’s title-winning side after the signing of N’Golo Kante and one Blues fan (@Chelseaolic) claimed to have spotted Mahrez no.7 Chelsea shirts for sale on Adidas’s website today.


The option to buy Mahrez no.7 shirts has since been removed but it wouldn’t be the first time the brand has let big transfer news slip after Henrikh Mkhitaryan Manchester United shirts went on sale a week before the winger’s move to Old Trafford last month.

Mahrez’s name was available (@Chealseaolic)
