Barca are also thought to be looking at Manchester City wide-man Jesus Navas as a replacement for Chelsea’s new signing Pedro, while Arsenal themselves could see Theo Walcott poached by the La Liga champions.
Still, Mahrez’s fine form for the Foxes at the start of this season has also attracted plenty of interest, with Arsenal known to have made enquiries over the 24-year-old on deadline day.
