#2 Riyad Mahrez

The Moroccan has become somewhat of a forgotten hero as Leicester City failed spectacularly to defend their Premier League crown. And Riyad Mahrez faced a similar fate to that of his club. Not that he had an entirely bad season, but it was nowhere near to what he showed during the Foxes’ miraculous campaign.

Nevertheless, talent doesn’t fade away within the space of a season and under the tutelage of Arsene Wenger, it might just be the break that he needs. The North London club still lack the perfect inside forward to complement Alexis Sanchez—and Mahrez could be that man.

With Sanchez on the left, Mahrez on the right and Ozil in between them, it would be a treat for the striker in front of them. Now, if only they have a forward who can bury the chances given to him. Oh, wait, they just might have one now.
