Riyad Mahrez has spoken of the “amazing memories” he will take from his time at Leicester in the wake of his £60m move to Manchester City.
The 27-year-old completed his club-record transfer to the Etihad on Tuesday but he was keen to pay tribute to his former club and their supporters on his Twitter account
To all Leicester fans,
We have made some amazing memories and history together. Winning the premiership against all odds was just something else and none of this would have been possible without your extraordinary support for me and the team. I want to thank all of you

Mahrez was wanted by Man City boss Pep Guardiola in January but Leicester rejected their £50m offer plus winger Patrick Roberts, who was valued at £15m.
