Mahrez is a magnificent winger with fantastic pace, decent passing, and unmatched dribbling skills - capable of tearing opposition defenses apart to create clear-cut chances almost from scratch as well finding the back of the net at vital moments.
Having established himself as one of the finest attackers in the English top flight for the past few years, the 27-year-old is expected to run riot under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium this season.
