PFA Player of the Year News: Leicester believe Riyad Mahrez has scooped top prize

Algerian in the frame after organisers insist he attends ceremony

LEICESTER believe Riyad Mahrez has scooped the PFA Player of the Year award to be announced this weekend.

The Premier League leaders are convinced the Algerian midfielder has won the coveted prize after they were pushed into making special arranagements to ensure he attended Sunday’s awards bash on London.

Mahrez had suggested he may not attend the black-tie ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel because Leicester’s Premier League clash with Swansea would not finish untill just before 6pm.

But the PFA have insisted the 25-year-old turns up, fuelling believe within the King Power Stadium that their man has won.

The personal helicopter belonging to Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is now on stand-by to fly Mahrez down to London along with fellow Foxes nominees Jamie Vardy and N’Golo Kante.

According to The Mail, the trio will be flown to the Battersea heliport before making the short dash north of the river to Park Lane for the dinner.

Leicester’s incredible form this season has already seen four of their players named in the PFA Premier League team of the year.

Mahrez, Vardy and Kante are joined in the all-star XI by captain Wes Morgan with Liecester and title challengers Tottenham both boasting four representitives each.
