Mahrez ‘more complete’ than in Leicester City's title-winning season, says Puel

Leicester City manager, Claude Puel opines that Riyad Mahrez has become a ‘better’ and a ‘more complete’ player than when Leicester City won the English Premier League title.

The 26-year-old scored 17 top-flight goals to help the King Power Stadium win the 2015–16 Premier League title. Mahrez was also crowned the PFA Player of the Year for his displays that season.

This term, the winger has registered eight league goals and seven assists, with his latest coming in their 2-0 win over Watford.

And the French tactician has insisted that the Algeria international's game has improved, all round.
