Who should replace Riyad Mahrez?

Exeter Blue I am here said:
I take the point, but I would have thought that the way to go would be to integrate them gradually off the bench, to gauge if they’re up to the task. The issue is not so much they aren’t ready (although from what I saw of Palmer last season and McAtee at Sheff Utd, I wasn’t convinced about either of them), it’s that the squad is so lacking in the attacking midfield department that we will have little option but to play them, regardless of whether they prove to be good enough. Going into a 50-60 game season with only 4 established senior pros for the attacking central midfield and wide berths, I just think is daft.

That's exactly how I think they should be used, or one starting each game, with others as subs. They would also play in cup matches. It has to be gradual, just as it generally is with new players who arrive.
 
i like Doku quite a bit, he is a problem on 1 vs 1, needs to improve his final ball which should be doable, as he unlike sterling has good technique
 
I don't want to get my hopes up, but Doku would be a really exciting signing IMO. Plays both sides, absolutely rapid, phenomenal dribbler one on one. Turned 21 at the end of May, so much potential but already has experience in the Champions League and is a full Belgian international.

Totally different profile to what we have, but if we can't find a direct replacement for Riyad I'd rather add a new dimension to our attack than sign nobody and be short on numbers.
 
He can definitely beat a man, never lifted his head up when I last saw him play but it was a while ago and he may have developed.
