“Having been rejected by Jamie Vardy, Arsenal had emerged as frontrunners to sign Leicester team-mate Riyad Mahrez in recent weeks," said a BetStars spokesman.
"But in the last 24 hours the market suggests that they could have been overtaken by their bitter west London rivals.
“Chelsea are now leading the chase for Mahrez at 7/4 ahead of the Gunners at 15/8, making a reunion with midfield maestro N’Golo Kante a real possibility.”
“[We chose to take him from Bolton] because of his quality,” Wenger explained. “He’s a young, promising centre back.
“You don’t find centre backs that often and we can educate them when they’re at that age. We can give them all the ingredients we think are important."
