Riyad Mahrez has been spotted at Pontins Camber Sands, fuelling speculation that he plans to dress as a zebra to entertain children.

The Leicester City star was released from international duty by Algeria in order to finalise a transfer away from the Foxes, prompting all manner of sightings.

In the last few hours alone, Mahrez has also been spied at Barcelona, various London hotels, the Grand Canyon and, most remarkably, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

But Football Burp understands that Pontins Camber Sands are now favourites to land the tricky winger’s signature.

Speaking exclusively to Football Burp, a source indicated that they definitely weren’t drunk.

They said: “I’m definitely not drunk.

“I know what I saw, and that was Leicester City ace Riyad Mahrez undergoing a medical while wearing a foam zebra head at Pontins Camber Sands.

“Granted it could have been anyone under that head, I suppose I hadn’t really thought about that.

“But you’re paying me, right?”

They added: “Then it was definitely him.”
