Morgan urges Mahrez to stay with Leicester

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has urged star forward Riyad Mahrez to stick with the Premier League champions, despite strong transfer interest from elsewhere. 

Mahrez scored 17 goals and assisted another 11 as the foxes clinched the Barclays Premier League title last season. 

However, following N'Golo Kante's switch to Chelsea, Morgan is keen to limit the losses as Leicester look to defend their Premier League crown. 

"I know there’s a lot of talking going off but hopefully everybody can follow in my footsteps," said Morgan, who recently signed a new three-year deal with Leicester. 

"We want to maintain our key players and build on that with the new players because we have got a lot to play for this season. 

"We have some fantastic players and some of the bigger teams in Europe are going to want them. 

"We need to focus on our job, let the people talk the talk and do what we can do on the pitch."
