Mahrez mostly plays on the right side, where his winger position allows him to be most effective. The Algerian is quite skilled with his left foot and has a bag of tricks. His hallmark technique of cutting inside from the right wing and launching strikes at the goal is represented by this.

Club Career

Mahrez began playing with AAS Sarcelles as a young youngster. He went to Le Havre a year after becoming a professional for Quimper.

In January 2014, Mahrez transferred from Le Havre to Leicester City. Steve Walsh, a scout for Leicester City, noticed him when he was observing his teammate Ryan Mendes. He agreed to a three-and-a-half-year deal with Leicester, who were competing at the time in the English Championship.

Prior to joining the squad, Mahrez was not aware that Leicester City even existed and thought they were a rugby team.

Mahrez’s first manager at Leicester was Nigel Pearson, and in his fourth league game as a substitute, the Algerian scored in a 2-2 draw against neighborhood rivals Nottingham Forest. Mahrez was a substitute in their subsequent Championship match against Ipswich Town but was given a starting spot for the match that followed, a 3-0 victory against Charlton Athletic. Leicester finally clinched the championship and got promoted to the Premier League.

Mahrez guided Leicester City to a historic Premier League victory in the 2015-16 season after assisting them in gaining promotion at the conclusion of the 2013–14 campaign. He was also named the Algerian Footballer of the Year, PFA Players’ Player of the Year, and a member of the PFA Team of the Year during the aforementioned season. He also received the CAF’s Best African Footballer honor in 2016.

On July 10, 2018, Mahrez’s transfer to Manchester City for a rumored value of £60 million ($81.5 million) was officially announced.

In his first season at Manchester City, he scored seven Premier League goals, and in his second, he scored eleven.

Since immediately after declaring his intention to play for Algeria in 2013, Mahrez has been a member of the national team setup for that country. He participated in the 2014 World Cup team for Algeria. Vahid Halilhodzic, the coach of Algeria, has since asserted that he was accused of receiving money from Mahrez in return for a World Cup spot. In a 3-0 victory over Malawi in a qualifier for the Africa Cup of Nations, Mahrez scored his first goal for his country.
