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.
Marc Albrighton (Winger: Free)
After being overlooked by Aston Villa, Marc Albrighton’s career seemed to be heading for a downward spiral. But a move to Leicester on a free transfer in 2014 offered him a chance to revive his career. Come 2016, he is a Premier League champion. Albrighton’s pace and incisive crossing complemented Mahrez’s threat on the other flank well. Another one of the smart transfer buys from the Foxes. Albrighton was a very down to earth player.
