Leicester City signed Luis Hernandez on a free transfer this summer.
In an exclusive interview with the Leicester Mercury, Foxes new boy Luis Hernandez discussed the quality of his teammates, explaining how he believes Riyad Mahrez is one of the top three players in the league.
The Spaniard, 27, moved to the King Power Stadium in the summer on a free transfer, as Claudio Ranieri made an attempt to bolster his defensive options.

Hernandez spoke to the Leicester Mercury and singled out Algerian international Riyad Mahrez for high praise, placing him in the top bracket of players in the Premier League:
“Riyad Mahrez is among the three most talented players in the Premier League. I enjoy watching him every day.”
Mahrez was without doubt one of the best players in England last term, as his 17 goals and 11 assists in 37 league outings helped fire the Foxes to their incredible Premier League title success.

He seems to be slightly more subdued this season, however, with just one goal in seven games.
Ranieri will need the Algerian to start firing again if his Leicester side are to climb up the table, after their disappointing start which has left them languishing in 12th position in the Premier League.
Life doesn’t get any easier for Leicester, with their next game being a trip to Chelsea on Saturday.
