Riyad Mahrez has been given permission by Algeria to leave the national team's camp in order to complete a transfer from Leicester. 

The Algerian Football Federation announced that Mahrez was given permission to leave the Algeria squad and return to Europe to "formalise his transfer to his new club", according to SkySports.

Leicester winger Mahrez has expressed a desire to leave the King Power Stadium and has been linked with a host of clubs over the summer, with Roma having already had three bids rejected for the 26-year-old, the third being £32m.
