Just a few weeks back, we were met with an array of reports linking Mahrez with an exit from Manchester City over a lack of game time after being sidelined by Pep Guardiola. However, having just wrapped up his first season with the league title at the Etihad, Mahrez has revealed that he wants to kick on at Manchester City.

Mahrez said that he understands the difficulties of integrating himself to an already well-settled team and insisted that he is happy at City.

"It is not easy to come to a team who are settled, who have players who play. That squad did everything last season.
"I knew it would not be easy in my first year but I am very confident in myself and have no doubts about my quality. I knew that when I had my chance I would take it. I scored at Brighton and helped the team.
"I am very happy here. I am not going somewhere else because I don't play. It's part of the game. I need to be strong, stay strong. It's part of my personality, I never hide away from things."
