Mahrez set to link-up with Kante at Chelsea after dropping a huge hint?
Riyad Mahrez has dropped a major hint that he’d be keen on a potential summer move to Chelsea after a conversation with Leicester team-mate Islam Slimani was caught on camera.
The pair were heard discussing the newly crowned Premier League champions in the build-up to Leicester’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, with the Algerian describing Antonio Conte’s side as a ‘real club’.
After hearing Slimani big up the Blues, Mahrez was quick to suggest he held the club in extremely high esteem.
Slimani said: ‘Hey, Chelsea are champions!’

To which Mahrez replied: ‘They’re an incredible club.
‘A real club.’
Mahrez was heavily linked with a switch to Chelsea last summer but a move never materialised, with the winger deciding to stay with Leicester for their first Champions League campaign.
Former Leicester team-mate N’Golo Kante jumped ship at the start of the 2016/17 season and has since gone on to win the Premier League title under Conte.
And it seems as if Mahrez may well be keen to join him.
