TVC E. Leicester City fans hoping to keep Riyad Mahrez at the King Power Stadium this season.
Earlier, it was reported that Manchester City could turn their attentions to the Algerian if their move for Schalke winger Leroy Sane doesn’t come off.
But that move took a step forward last night, with the Manchester Evening news reporting that Schalke sporting director Christian Heidel has confirmed that the 20-year-old winger will depart the club to German media.
Dan Evans beats Grigor Dimitrov to reach Citi Open last 16
British number four Dan Evans has beaten 12th seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 6-4 to reach the last 16 of the Citi Open in Washington.
The 26-year-old world number 82 had three match points at 5-2 in the second set but Dimitrov saved all three.
The Bulgarian, ranked 40, then broke – but Evans held his nerve when serving for the match for a second time and converted his fifth match point.
He will play either Lukas Lacko or Jack Sock for a place in the quarter-finals.
