Leicester City have been linked with a move for Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend as a potential replacement for Riyad Mahrez .

Manchester City are keen on the Foxes forward and reports suggest they made a surprise £50m offer for him yesterday.

The Foxes are unlikely to be interested in doing a deal for the figures that have tentatively been muted, the Mercury understands.

In fact, it would take an incredible offer for City to consider selling Mahrez in this transfer window.

However, the Daily Mail reports that City are eyeing up Townsend in case Guardiola does sign the 26-year-old forward.

Townsend, 26, has played 22 times for Palace in the Premier League this season, scoring one goal and getting five assists.

He previously played for Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United .
