WHO is the Premier League's player of the season so far?
Alexis Sanchez? Mesut Ozil? Kevin De Bruyne? Yaya Toure? Harry Kane?
No.
According to our friends at Oulala.com the best player in the Premier League is Leicester's Riyad Mahrez.
With seven goals and five assists, Mahrez is also rated as the second-best player in Europe right now, to Barcelona's Neymar.
Mahrez's teammate Jamie Vardy is ranked number two in the Premier League, while Jack Butland is third.
Mahrez gave up the chance to add to his tally this week by handing the ball to Vardy after Leicester won a spot kick.
Vardy finished it, making his scoring run now nine games in row, behind only Ruud van Nistelrooy who hit ten.
“Riyad is our penalty taker and it just shows what kind of team we are,” Danny Drinkwater said.
“Riyad realised the run Jamie was on and passed him the ball – and credit to Riyad. He has just shown what a team player he can be.”
Mahrez's form has seen him linked with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
