‘What a signing he would have been’ … Chelsea fans react as £45m target shines

The Sun reported on transfer deadline day back in August that the west London outfit were on the verge of signing the Algeria international in a £45m deal, but a move never materialised even though the player was released from international duty.
The 26-year-old has gone on to have an impressive campaign for the Foxes with five goals and five assists in 17 appearances in all competitions, including a brilliant 25-yard strike against the Magpies.
Chelsea supporters took to social media to give their thoughts on the winger’s display, and while one said “what a signing he would’ve been”, another has urged the club to “please sign Mahrez next month”.
