Premier League: Bargain XI

Dele Alli and Philippe Coutinho were procured for unbelievably low transfer fees

Attack

Left-wing: Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)

Coutinho has started the season in fine form

Coutinho's £8.5 million move from Inter Milan to Liverpool would probably fall under the category of football robbery.

Blessed with insane dribbling skills and a sniper's right foot, Coutinho's Brazilian flair has terrorised and captivated the Premier League for six seasons now.

While he hasn't hit the heights of previous seasons so far this year (thanks to Barcelona's on-and-off interest in signing him), he does have 4 goals in just 8 matches, and he hasn't yet gotten used to playing second fiddle to the front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah.

But when he gets into the groove, expect a lot more fireworks to come.

Right-wing: Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

Mahrez hasn't hit the heights of his title-winning season at Leicester yet

Mahrez's career will probably forever be remembered as an uneventful one, with the blip on the radar being the incredible title-winning season of 2015/16.

As Leicester romped home to the most memorable title win in Premier League history, the Algerian genius guided the Foxes home with 17 goals and 11 assists.

The £450k that Leicester paid for him is less than the weekly salary of some footballers. He's still being continuously linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea, but he has to consider the possibility of lesser game time if he chooses to move to a bigger club.

Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Manchester United)

Zlatan made his first appearance this season against Brighton

The Swedish striker arrived on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain after he ran down his contract at the French capital.

Having touched down in Manchester at the age of 35, he went on to become the oldest player to score 15 goals in a Premier League season with typical arrogance and showmanship.

An ACL tear would have ended the career of any other 35-year-old, but not Zlatan. He's all set to play an important role in United's chase of that elusive league title, with Mourinho confirming that his participation in the upcoming Manchester derby highly likely.
