Liverpool and Leicester City have denied reports of a Riyad Mahrez transfer during the January window.

Liverpool dubbed the rumour as "complete fabrication" on Saturday.

"I think it is important he [Mahrez] keeps this focus and concentration until the end of the season," Claude Puel told a news conference. "I am happy with him and I think he is enjoying his football. He is happy to play with this team.

"We are trying to develop good play on the floor and he likes this. He has good results with assists and goals in recent games."
