Algerian international Riyad Mahrez believes the Reds winger deserves the title of player of the season in the Premier League. " It is effective. He scores goals, like (Mohamed) Salah. When he was in Southampton, he was good, but he was not as good as he is now. He improved a lot technically and in front of the goal. He scores a lot of goals now because he has improved a lot. So yes, I think this year it should be him, "said the Manchester City player with fair play in a video.
