Leicester City v West Bromwich Albion - Premier League
Riyad Mahrez is one of the most creative African players at the moment. The Algerian winger is a very good dribbler and a prolific attacker. This season, he has managed 18 shots and 245 passes. After a slow start to the new season affected Leicester City, Riyad Mahrez has only scored 2 goals and assisted one more.
However, the former PFA Player of the Year award winner is undoubtedly one of the best attackers in the Premier League with his key passes, dribbling and long shots. He can play as a midfielder or as a forward on the right wing, cutting inside the box, creating chances and scoring goals.
