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.
N’Golo Kante (Central midfielder: £5.6m)
A £5.6 million ($8.2 million, 7.2 million euros) capture from French side Caen last year, Kante has astonished observers with his relentless energy, driving runs and extraordinary knack for recovering possession. Legendary former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson described him as “by far the best player in the Premier League” and he was shortlisted for the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year award. He won his first France cap in March and is a near-certainty for a place in Didier Deschamps’s Euro 2016 squad.
