C. Puelis: Mahrez looks better than ever

"The coach of "Leicester City", Claude Puel, says that Riyad Mahrez, who has returned to the team, has reached an even higher level.

The winger was heavily linked with a transfer to "Manchester City" on the last day of the winter transfer window, but it did not happen.

This was followed by the disappointment of the Algerian striker, when he refused to participate in the "Foxes" training sessions. However, recently, the situation in the team has improved and their leader already showed up in last weekend's "Premier League" match.

"Yes, I think he has reached an even higher level", Puel answered when asked if Mahrez returned to his usual standard.

"He enjoys training and playing with his teammates. He is in good shape and has no problems."

"I think it's important to end all discussions about Riyad now. He has returned and showed up against "Manchester City". Now we need to move on, he needs to integrate into the team."

"Now the most important thing is the future."

So far, Mahrez has scored nine goals and provided as many assists in 28 matches in all competitions this season."
