Premier League title winners 2015/16
For all the headline-grabbing exploits of top scorer Jamie Vardy and twinkle-toed winger Riyad Mahrez, Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League title success has been very much a collective effort. What is amazing is that the starting eleven that was responsible for this collective effort cost just £22m, according to a report by BBC. That amount is less than half the amount Manchester City paid for Kevin de Bruyne at the start of the season.
We take a look at the average Leicester starting eleven and how much they cost individually.
Wes Morgan (Centre-back: £1m)
The rock at the heart of the Leicester defence, Morgan joined the club from local rivals Nottingham Forest for just £1m in January 2012 and was quickly installed as captain. Despite lacking pace, he is an authoritative presence and with Robert Huth has formed an old-school central defensive partnership founded upon strength "astute positioning and aerial dominance". The Jamaica international, 32, scored a key header in a 1-0 win over Southampton in April, during a run of seven clean sheets in nine games that effectively secured the title.
