Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted on Wednesday that he is still looking to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.
However, Arsenal are yet to make a bid for Mahrez, despite conflicting reports in France suggesting the Foxes had already rejected an approach for the forward.
Mahrez scored 17 league goals during the last campaign to help Claudio Ranieri's team lift the Premier League title for the first time in the club's history.

Arsenal made an approach for Mahrez's strike partner Jamie Vardy earlier this summer but the England international elected to stay at the King Power Stadium by signing a new four-year contract in June.
The Gunners had a £30m bid for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette rejected in July and Arsenal are yet to return with a second offer for the France international.

Meanwhile, Wenger's immediate priority in the transfer window will be to recruit defensive cover after Gabriel was ruled out for up to eight weeks after suffering an ankle injury against Manchester City on Sunday.

The 24-year-old, who impressed for Joachim Low's side at Euro 2016, is seen as an ideal replacement for Per Metesacker, who faces a long spell on the sidelines after injuring a knee in pre-season.

Zlatan holds back the clock but time's up for Rooney

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him. "Honestly I don't think so,” he said of Rooney’s chances of recovering in time. “Let's see. It's not a big deal but in four days I have my doubts." He probably wouldn’t start anyway, not the way United are p...

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...
