Leicester City season player ratings: The history makers Riyad Mahrez: 10 out of 10

Voted PFA player of the season last weekend, the Algerian has dazzled the Premier League with his pace and trickery all season. Born in northern Paris spent early stages of his career in the fourth tier of French football, at Quimper and then Le Havre. Struggled to gain recognition owing to his slender build but developed his ball skills and wing play. Another player scouted by Steve Walsh, who had initially gone to see another player but was impressed by Mahrez. The midfielder initiailly thought Leicester to be a rugby side. Made debut in early 2014, helping side win promotion. Featured for his country at the 2014 World Cup. Impressed in patches last season but a lot more consistent this term and was named PFA player of the season hours after opening the scoring in rout against Swansea. Has been involved in (scoring or assisting) 28 goals this season - only team-mate Jamie Vardy can match that in the top-flight this season.
