10 Game-Changing Premier League Summer Transfers

10. N'Golo Kanté - Caen To Leicester City (2015)

Finding a bargain during the summer transfer window is a tough ask. Talented young players will likely have an asking price that's the equivalent of a developing nation's GDP. But a savvy scout can spot a rough bargain amidst the sparkly over-priced diamonds, and Leicester City's Steve Walsh did just that with N'Golo Kanté in 2015.

The 24 year old French midfielder caught the eye of Walsh, who advised Claudio Raineri to sign the relatively unknown Kanté from Caen for £5.6 million in the summer of 2015. It's hard to imagine that such an understated signing would go on to play a key role in shocking the world of football in the following season.

Kanté's performances were pivotal in Leicester City's unlikely march towards title glory in 2016, as they became Premier League champions for the first time. Despite fellow City players Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez grabbing the headlines, it was Kanté's tireless, often gritty, midfield work that solidified every narrow win that Leicester grounded out that season.

Leciester's fairy-tale season could never have come true without Kanté at the heart of the team, and his arrival at the club was an undoubted game-changer for the Foxes.
