The problem for top teams is that they look for the finished article, not players getting there. So scouts from Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City wouldn&#x27;t have recommended the likes of Mahrez or Vardy since they didn&#x27;t have an exceptional season, also only top leagues are looked at. So a Ligue 2 player and a Championship player aren&#x27;t ever in their sights.<p>Leicester seeking out gems from unexplored areas is what gave them these bargain signings. They wouldn&#x27;t have been able to sign these players if they had to go toe to toe with big clubs.
