Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri: 'Riyad Mahrez's potential is very high'

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says that Riyad Mahrez's potential is "very, very high" following last weekend's hat-trick against Swansea.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has sung the praises of Riyad Mahrez by claiming that the winger's potential is "very, very high".

The 24-year-old helped boost the Foxes' already-impressive season by scoring a hat-trick in last weekend's win over Swansea City.

Leicester now have a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after 15 games.

"I'm very happy," Ranieri told reporters. "Until now I'm always asked about Vardy, now we talk about Mahrez.

"Mahrez is a good player and he's still improving. His potential is very, very high. It's not important who scores, it's important that the team scores and that the team plays well."

Mahrez signed for the Foxes from Le Havre in 2014.
