Leicester City’s most expensive signings of all-time including record £38m arrival

Here, Leicester City News ranks the club’s 10 most expensive signings.

Leicester throughout their history haven’t always been big spenders. Prior to the Championship promotion in 2014, their record arrival was Matt Mills, who joined from Reading in a £5m deal.

The King Power faithful have enjoyed a plethora of talented first-team players over the years, especially since the remarkable Premier League trophy triumph in 2016.

That catapulted the club to global prominence and in turn increased their revenue, allowing for more substantial transfer fees to be outlaid.

So with that said, who are Leicester’s all-time record transfer arrivals? The top 10 have been named below with their price attached.
