Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez becomes the first African player to win five Premier League titles, beating the likes of Didier Drogba and Kolo Toure.
The Algerian international won one title in the 2015/16 season with Leicester City under Claudio Ranieri. It was one of the best seasons in Leicester City’s history.
He then moved to Manchester City to join Pep Guardiola’s side in the 2017/18 season. At the time, he was Manchester City’s most expensive player.
In the 2018/19 season, Mahrez won his first Premier League title with Manchester City, becoming the second African player to win two Premier League titles with two different clubs.
The first African player to do that was Kolo Toure, who won the Premier League title with Arsenal Invincible Team and with Manchester City under Roberto Mancini in the 2011/12 season.
In the 2020–21 season, the player won another Premier League. In the 2021–22 season, the Algerian won another Premier League title with a final-day drama against Aston Villa.
The 32-year-old Algerian had played a significant role in the success of Manchester City, even though he didn’t play enough matches this season in the Premier League.
He scored five goals and provided 10 assists in 28 league games played this season.
Mahrez has been professional on and off the pitch. The Algerian star has never been tagged as having destroyed the peace of the dressing room.
