Riyad Mahrez has told Claudio Ranieri that he'll remain with Leicester City this season.

Mahrez has received considerable interest following his excellent title-winning season.

"He stays with us," Ranieri told Sky Sports. "We wanted to keep all our players. Of course, Kante had the clause and Chelsea paid the clause.

"But Riyad does not have the clause and he will stay with us. Yes, he told me he will stay with us."
