Algeria have allowed Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez to leave camp in order to finalise a transfer before the window closes.
Mahrez has been linked with moves to Roma, Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal, and the 2015-16 Premier League winner is now nearing an exit from Leicester.
As Algeria prepare for a World Cup qualifier against Zambia, the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) confirmed on Wednesday that it has granted the 26-year-old attacker permission to formalise his playing future.
Mahrez has featured in all three Premier League fixtures for Leicester this season, setting up two goals.
