Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez has signed a new two-year contract extension with the Premier League champions.

The Algerian winger had one year left on his contract with the Premier League side, but has now penned a new deal that will last until 2025.

“I’ve enjoyed every single minute of my time here,” said the winger, who has won three Premier League titles with City.

“It’s a pleasure to be part of such an incredible club.”

Speaking about his time at Manchester City, Mahrez added: “To have helped us achieve the success we have enjoyed in the past four seasons has been unforgettable and made us all hungry to look to achieve even more.

“Now I just want to try and play my part in helping us be successful next season and beyond.”

The 31-year-old who joined Manchester City from Leicester for £60m in 2018 has been an important member of the club since his addition. He has scored 77 goals in 254 Premier League appearances for Leicester and Manchester City.

He has four Premier League titles in total after playing his part in Leicester’s top-flight success in 2015-16.

Pep Guardiola has been busy in the transfer window this summer having already signed Norway striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund and Leeds United’s England midfielder Kalvin Phillips as well as German keeper Stefan Ortega.

The Premier League champions have sold Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal and England forward Raheem Sterling to Chelsea.
