John Terry has voted for Riyad Mahrez as his Players' Player of the Year and included seven Leicester players in his Team of the Year after posting a photo of his selections on Instagram.

The Chelsea defender has not included any of his team-mates in his XI, with Leicester duo Robert Huth and Wes Morgan his picks in his position while another centre-half - Manchester United's Chris Smalling - is his choice at right back.

Former Chelsea full-back Ryan Bertrand is his selection at left-back, with Leicester players making up three of his midfield four - West Ham's Dimitri Payet the odd one out among Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater and N'Golo Kante.

Jamie Vardy is up front alongside Harry Kane, who Terry also names as his Young Player of the Year.

Mahrez has been an inspiration for Leicester this season as they close on a potential historic Premier League title, adding 11 assists to his 16 goals.

Kane, who won Young Player of the Year last season, suffered a slow start to the season, but has since hit top form to spearhead Tottenham's pursuit of Leicester and he tops the Premier League with 22 goals.
