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.
Robert Huth (Centre-back: £3m)
Huth has been a revelation in the Leicester defense and has been perhaps the best defender in the Premier League this season. After featuring for Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Stoke, Huth joined Leicester in 2015 for a fee of just £3m. His partnership with captain Wes Morgan was instrumental in Leicester’s title triumph.
Not much got past him in the air.
