There are few wingers throughout European football, let alone the Premier League, enjoying better form than Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez.
The Algeria international is second in both the Premier League’s goals and assists charts, bagging seven strikes and five set ups this term, whilst his 3.5 dribbles per match is the best return throughout the top flight.
The former Le Harve man has developed at an incredible rate since the Foxes’ top flight ascension in 2014 and still aged just 24, the potential is certainly there for equally meteoric improvements over the next few years.
Blessed with firepower, speed, creativity and particularly exceptional close control, it’s no surprise the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and United have all been linked with the prodigious winger this season.
Proven pedigree in the Premier League is another bonus from the Red Devils’ perspective, but one that will inevitably have an effect on Mahrez’s price-tag.
