- Tottenham are showing interest in Leicester's in-form winger Riyad Mahrez, though a January bid is unlikely.
Manchester United remain keen on Algeria international Mahrez, who has scored 14 goals this season, despite Leicester's insistence he won't be sold in this window.
Tottenham are admirers too but know Leicester are likely to reject all offers, with Mahrez also happy to see out the season with the Premier League leaders. The White Hart Lane club will instead concentrate their efforts on signing a striker.

Mahrez scored his 13th and 14th Premier League goals from the penalty spot against Everton on Saturday
Club scouts watched Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi again on Sunday during the 1-1 draw at Bordeaux while Saido Berahino and Laurent Depoitre of Gent remain on the list.
Batshuayi would be a difficult deal to do in January with Marseille looking for £30million for the Belgium international who has scored 14 goals so far, leaving Berahino and Depoitre as more realistic January targets.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are expecting enquiries for winger Andros Townsend this week with Newcastle, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Watford among those keen.
