Adrien Silva Revealed as Highest Earner Per Minute Played at Leicester So Far This Season

Adrien Silva has been revealed as Leicester City's highest earner per minutes played in the Premier League so far this season, according to a new study.

The Portuguese midfielder, currently on loan at Monaco, earns £80,000-a-week at Leicester and played 88 minutes for the Foxes this season before being offloaded to the Ligue 1 club in January, meaning Silva has earned £22,727 per minute this season for Claude Puel's team.

A study from TheSportsman.com, as reported by LeicestershireLive, shows the Portugal international to top the list which is dominated by departed or barely used Leicester players.
