Riyad Mahrez made sure all eyes were on him at Leicester v Burnley as he sported a brand new hairdo.
The Algerian winger showed off his blond locks at King Power Stadium, and although he created the chance for Demarai Gray to score and secure a 1-0 victory for the Foxes, all fans could talk about was his bleached mane.
Fresh trim and an assist, @Mahrez22!

Some fans wanted to know why he had dyed his hair.
WHAT HAS MAHREZ DONE TO HIS HAIR
— Mark S (@jennings_182) December 2, 2017
Riyad Mahrez has surely lost a bet to have hair like that.

I’m probably late to the game but…wtf is up with Mahrez’s hair?!?!? #FearlessFoxes

Meanwhile, this person is now keen to make drastic changes to his fantasy football team.
Due to the hair situation I would put Mahrez on the transfer list immediately
— James Storer (@JamesStorer1977) December 2, 2017
And this person has an idea where Mahrez got his inspiration from.
Riyad Mahrez clearly gripped by World Cup fever. He’s gone for a Romania at France ‘98 look here.

He certainly seems to have invoked some celebrity comparisons.
