RIYAD MAHREZ has been Leicester’s bright spark in recent weeks — after brightening up his hairdo.
The Foxes star shocked everyone before facing Burnley almost two weeks ago by dying his hair blonde in a move that saw fans pulling their hair out.

His hair-raising performances also appear to have rubbed off on the team too, with Claude Puel’s men in brilliant form heading into the new year.
Leicester have won four of last five Prem games, and are just five points from the Champions League places.
