Leicester could lose another of its Premier League title-winning stars from the 2015-16 season after Riyad Mahrez announced Tuesday his intention to leave the English club for a new challenge.
“I wanted to be totally honest and transparent with them,” Mahrez said in a statement released by his management company, “and have therefore informed the club that I feel now is the time for me to move on.”
The Algeria winger scored 17 goals for Leicester in its run to the Premier League title at preseason odds of 5,000-1. He was voted as English soccer’s Player of the Year that season.
