Transfer News: Leicester Moves To Replace Mahrez With Hazard

Former Premier League champions, Leicester are looking to replace forward, Riyad Mahrez with Thorgan Hazard.

Thorgan is one of the brothers of Chelsea forward, Eden.

Mahrez handed in a transfer request last month to try and force through a move to Manchester City, but his club stood firm and would not let the player leave for less than around £90million.

The Algerian has since refused to attend training to show his anger.

Bild reports that the Foxes are now focused on finding a replacement for their star man.

According to the newspaper, Borussia Monchengladbach attacker, Thorgan Hazard is high on their list, although Chelsea have first refusal on the player.

The 24-year-old actually moved to Stamford Bridge in 2012 but after being loaned out a couple of times, he eventually completed a permanent switch in 2015.
