Mahrez has been absolutely astonishing for Leicester City this season

The Algerian winger showcased some glimpses of his talent and dribbling skills last season, but, this season he has been simply mesmerising creating numerous chances and leaving the opposition defences flat-footed.

In 30 Premier League appearances so far, Mahrez has scored 16 goals with many of them being simply brilliant solo efforts. He has also been one of the most creative members of this wonderful Leicester side, grabbing 11 assists in a stellar campaign.

Leicester are on the verge of creating history and they have the 25-year-old Algerian to thank for. From being relegation contenders to Premier League title challengers, Mahrez has played a key role in Leicester's incredible rise.

His performances have been so good this season that he has been linked with a move to the best club side in the world currently - Barcelona. From playing in Le Havre two years back to a potential move to Barcelona at the end of this season, Mahrez’s rise has indeed been meteoric.

The Algerian has definitely had a breakthrough season this year.
