Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez named PFA Player of the Year

Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez is named the PFA Player of the Year for the 2015-16 season after beating teammate Jamie Vardy and Tottenham's Harry Kane to the prize.

Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez has been named the PFA Player of the Year for the 2015-16 season.

The 25-year-old has become the first ever African player to win the award after beating Leicester teammate Jamie Vardy and Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane to the main prize.

Mahrez has scored 17 goals and registered 11 assists in the Premier League this season, with the attacker's form a key contributor to Leicester's position at the top of the table with three games left.

The latest of Mahrez's goals came on Sunday afternoon when he struck in his team's 4-0 win over Swansea City.

The Algerian international, who has been linked with Barcelona over the last few months, is believed to have cost Leicester in the region of £400,000 from Le Havre in 2014.
