#3 Riyad Mahrez (Algeria & Leicester City)

Leicester City v Sheffield United - The Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round
Mahrez has been sensational for Leicester this season

Mahrez has been a revelation since joining Leicester City in 2013 from French Ligue 2 side Le Havre. He was integral in Leicester City's title winning season where he was crowned PFA player of the season.

Riyad has hit top form under Claude Puel - netting 9 goals, providing further 7 assists and creating 40 chances in 27 premier league appearances for the Foxes. Puel was appointed to replace Craig Shakespeare after Leicester City had a slow start to the season and were languishing in the relegation zone.

Mahrez has been the inspiration for the Foxes with mesmerizing performances, snatching late equalizers and winners as Leicester sit 8th in the premier league standings 3 points off 7th placed Burnley who occupy the last Europa League qualification spot.
