Premier League footballers are paid an extraordinary amount of money.
Many choose to spend their money on expensive cars.
But N'Golo Kante, after making the move to Leicester City in 2015, decided not to splash out big money on a new car.
The Frenchman chose to buy a Mini Cooper which, according to the Sun, cost him just north of £10,000.
Kante was still driving the same car when he made the move to Chelsea a year later and he was still driving it in 2020. That was despite the Mini being involved in a collision with a lorry in 2018.

But he has now upgraded from his Mini, it seems.
A video has emerged claiming to show the vehicles that several Chelsea players travel to training in.
Kante features, as does the likes of Reece James, Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and Christian Pulisic. View it below...
After all these years, it appears that Kante has decided to move on from his Mini Cooper.
The video claims him now driving what appears to be a Mercedes-Benz GLE.
Jorginho features in the video, despite recently signing for Arsenal. He could be seen in a Ferrari.
Pulisic was in a Porsche and Kepa Arrizabalaga was driving a Bentley Bentayga.
James was seen driving a Mercedes, while Kai Havertz and Wesley Fofana were seen driving a Lamborghini Urus.
Kante's ex-Chelsea teammate, Antonio Rudiger, explained the story behind Kante driving his Mini Cooper.
Rudiger told the Players' Tribune last year: "Everything with NG [Kante] is authentic. Even the Mini Cooper — people laugh about it, but there is a real story behind it.
“It was a dream for NG to make it to the Premier League, coming from where he came from, and the Mini was the first car that he bought when he got to England. So for him, it is not just a car. It has a deep meaning.
“Of course, the boys always joke with him about it, but I am telling you — this man is so polite that he just tells you what you want to hear.
“Someone will say, ‘NG, you know what car is really cool? A Mercedes, bro. I can see you whippin’ a black Mercedes’.
“And NG will just look at them genuinely and say, ‘Yes, O.K. We will think about it. Thank you, that’s a good idea’.
“But he’s just playing with you!!! At the end of the day, you know that you’re going to be seeing that Mini at the training ground for the next 10 years.
“I tell people all the time…. There is humble. And there is humble. And then there is N’Golo.”
It seems that Kante has finally taken Rudiger's advice - albeit he got a white Mercedes instead of a black one.
