4 Players Who Took The Premier League By A Storm This Season: Featuring Tottenham And Leicester Stars

  1. Riyad Mahrez-

Riyad Mahrez

The French born Algerian winger has surprised the entire footballing world by his standout performance this season. Alongside his team mate Jamie Vardy, Mahrez is a lethal weapon for Leicester. It seems a pretty simple combination for Leicester this season: Mahrez creates chances, Vardy scores it. The Duo (Mahrez and Vardy) have been involved in more goals than any of the Premier League players. Riyad alone has a direct involvement in 22 goals for Leicester this season in which he has scored 13 and have 9 assists in his pocket.

Before joining The Foxes, Riyad joined the French side Le Havre in 2010 after turning down the offer from Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille. Initially, he played for their reserve team and was transferred to Leicester in January 2014.

In January 2016,  Mahrez transfer value raised from £4.5 million to £30.1 million, ranking him among the top 50 most valuable players in Europe.
