Before the start of the season, not many knew Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez, with the Official Fantasy Premier League game even pricing the midfielder at a rather low 5.5 - Eden Hazard was over double the value at 11.5.

But, like the Foxes this entire campaign, Mahrez proved the English top flight and the entire world wrong, helping the club win a historic title and collecting the PFA Player of the Year accolade himself.

In the process he scored 18 goals and picked up 10 assists, making him one of only two players (Dele Alli the other) in the league to get double figures in both categories thus far.

And with the Foxes set to compete in the Champions League next term, it’s unlikely he’ll depart after becoming the team’s main man and superstar alongside Jamie Vardy.

Here are TEN Pictures that sum up Riyad Mahrez’s incredible season.

First game of the season against Sunderland (08/08/2015)

Incredible display against Chelsea (14/12/2015)
