During the 13/14 season, Riyad Mahrez scored three goals in 19 outings as Leicester were promoted from the Championship. The following season, he scored just four times in 32 appearances as they clung to their top-flight status by their fingertips.

The Algerian was a talented individual who possessed occasional bouts of trickery and flair but as far as end product went, was he suited to the English game?

The answer was a resounding yes, with the 25-year-old becoming the first African to win the PFA Player of the Year Award, as his 18 goals helped the Foxes on their way to the title. The French-born maestro suddenly has the world’s biggest clubs taking notice of him, and with good cause. Expect a huge jump in his rating.
