Riyad Mahrez who is an Algerian footballer playing for Manchester City has been reportedly linked with a move to another Premier League side Arsenal this summer.
But the Gunners chiefs will have to convince the big African footballer with massive salary for him to consider moving to the Emirates stadium.
This is because Arsenal did not qualify for the Champions League or even the Europa League which will make it difficult for them to attract player like Mahrez.
According to the report on UK Sun, Manchester City chiefs are said to be ready to sell some players this summer to raise funds.
Raheem Sterling is another player who is wanted by the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona and the Englishman could also be facing the exit doors this summer.
The Citizens are said to be targeting the likes of Jack Grealish and Harry Kane which will cost them massive amount during the transfer window.
Mahrez cost Manchester City £60million when moving from the King Power in 2018 and is under contract for another two years at the Etihad stadium.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Edouard Mendy who is Chelsea’s number one goalkeeper warned his teammates at Stamford Bridge to be wary of Riyad Mahrez in the Champions League final against Manchester City.
Chelsea and Manchester City will go head to head on Saturday night, May 29, in the Champions League final in Porto which is expected to be a tough encounter between these two EPL giants.
Already, Manchester City have won the Premier League title while Thomas Tuchel and his wards at Stamford Bridge are still looking for a title this term.
Riyad Mahrez has been one of the best African players considering his brilliant performances so far this term for Manchester City and even when he was at Leicester City.
At Leicester City, Riyad Mahrez won the Premier League title with the Foxes which he has won against with the Citizens at the just concluded term.
Goalkeeper Mendy who is expected to be fit for the Champions League final explained that Mahrez will be dangerous for his side.
