Algerian football star, Riyad Mahrez has moved to Manchester City from Leicester City in a club record signing worth £60million.

The 27-year-old winger was unveiled this evening after he successfully underwent his medical in Wilmslow on Tuesday afternoon.

After signing a five-year contract with the Premier League champions, Mahrez said: 'I am so pleased to have joined City, a side playing great football under Pep Guardiola.'

'I think we can be successful over the coming years and I believe my own game can develop under Pep's management.'
