Riyad Mahrez has been the Premier League's standout player this season and there's no evidence that's going to change anytime soon. Mahrez has netted an impressive five goals more than the next highest scoring midfielder in the Premier League, Newcastle United's Georginio Wijnaldum (8). His assist tally puts him joint third in the Premier League with only Mesut Özil (16) and Kevin De Bruyne (8) ahead of the Algerian when it comes to creating goals. If the 24-year-old's 13 goals and seven assists isn't enough to convince you that he's the real deal then maybe a deeper look at his stats could? Mahrez leads the Premier League for successful dribbles this season (68), boasting a take-on completion rate of 60 per cent. The midfielder has registered 53 shots at an accuracy of 66 per cent and a conversion rate of 25 per cent, making Mahrez more clinical in front of goal than forwards such as Harry Kane (14 per cent), Diego Costa (16 per cent) and Olivier Giroud (21 per cent).
