Leicester City manager Claude Puel believes Riyad Mahrez is a more complete player than when he won the 2015/16 PFA Player of the Year award.

The Algerian was instrumental in leading Leicester to an improbable title win two seasons ago.

His form has linked him with a move to Liverpool and Arsenal. Puel claimed last week that the 26-year-old would be worth £100m in the summer, which he puts down to his improvement.

"Better? I think he's more complete, he can do more penetration, he is an experienced player and has good maturity," Puel said.

"When he can make penetration or play simple, it's good for him and the team.

"It was a different play [style], it was a direct play, long ball, and after with Jamie (Vardy) and Riyad they made the difference.

"He can make some penetration like one or two years ago but also he can organise the play with one or two touches and can give assists - he is more complete."
