4. Nicolas Otamendi
In fourth place on the Top 10 Most Expensive Players in The Premier League 2016 is Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi. The Argentine defender was the best in La Liga before he joined the Citizens winning an average of 74 tackles a statistic which proved to be better than both John Terry and Cahill combined last season.
The defender hence attracted attention from top-flight clubs but Manchester City managed to lure him to the Etihad. He is very dominant in the air and is able to read the flow of the game perfectly. These are abilities which Manchester City will benefit from greatly.
