Famous foreign teams sometimes do not need to spend millions to acquire a true football gem. Solid reinforcement can be achieved by attracting a free agent or sometimes - a little-known representative of a weaker team. The website goal.com has compiled the top 15 best purchases of last season. In first place - N'Golo Kante. The 26-year-old Frenchman, just 168 cm tall, played a significant role in the "Leicester" team becoming champions of England and continued his achievements at the "Chelsea" club. An unrivaled midfield destroyer, he does not stand out for his goals, but teams do not need that. His huge value is evidenced by two consecutive gold medals (moving from "Leicester" to "Chelsea" for 35.8 million euros). Second - "Man Utd" striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The veteran from Sweden, who didn't cost a penny, proved that age is not a barrier. This is illustrated by his 28 goals and significant contribution to the "Red Devils" returning to the Champions League (PSG - "Man Utd", free agent). Third - Dani Alves. Another great result of negotiators' work - a world-renowned defender acquired for a bargain, who helped the "Juventus" team reach the Champions League final and win the Italian league and cup. His two assists in the Champions League semi-final against "Monaco" showed his importance to the team ("Barcelona" - "Juventus", free agent). In fourth place - "Monaco" defender Benjamin Mendy. The 22-year-old Frenchman, who cost only 11 million euros, became a significant part of the "Monaco" mechanism and is now being sought after by the most famous clubs. He excels at providing assists to his teammates (8 assists, 3 in the Champions League) ("Marseille" - "Monaco", 11 million euros). Fifth - Edin Dzeko. "Roma" made a very wise decision when they bought the contract of the player who belonged to "Man City" last summer. The 31-year-old Bosnian had the best season of his career, scoring 39 goals and making 9 assists. ("Man City" - "Roma", 11 million euros). 6. Miralem Pjanic ("Roma" - "Juventus", 32 million). 7. David Luiz (PSG - "Chelsea", 35 million). 8. Henrikh Mkhitaryan ("Borussia" - "Man Utd", 42 million). 9. Victor Wanyama ("Southampton" - "Tottenham", 14.4 million). 10. Ousmane Dembele ("Rennes" - "Borussia", 15 million). 11. Sadio Mane ("Southampton" - "Liverpool", 41.2 million). 12. Gonzalo Higuain ("Napoli" - "Juventus", 90 million). 13. Naby Keita ("Salzburg" - "Leipzig", 12.75 million). 14. Djibril Sidibe ("Lille" - "Monaco", 15 million). 15. Bas Dost ("Wolfsburg" - "Sporting", 10 million).
