Leicester City hit the jackpot after signing Stephy Mavididi, with the winger playing a major part in the Foxes' Championship title win.

The 26-year-old joined from Ligue 1 side Montpellier in the summer of 2023 for a fee of €7.5 million (£6.4 million), according to Foot Mercato.

Mavididi has been a revelation at the King Power Stadium and was an integral part of Enzo Maresca's Championship winning side.

He went on to score the winner in the Foxes' second game versus Huddersfield Town and played brilliantly against Southampton in a 4-1 victory at St. Mary's as Leicester built up a head of steam.

As Maresca's side showed their quality in the second tier, Mavididi's eye-catching performances were front and centre.
