#8 Riyad Mahrez – Le Havre to Leicester City (£0.35 million), 2014
His signing from the French League 2 side Le Havre for 0.35 million pounds has been touted by many as the ‘Premier League bargain of the decade’. He joined the club when they were fighting a relegation battle and helped them stay up in the Premier league.
However, in his second season he has been nothing short of breathtaking. Terrorizing defenders with his spectacular dribbling skills, he has been the supplier for the majority of the goals scored by Vardy during the season. Having a dream season with 16 goals and 11 assists from 33 games, he has attracted interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
