Footballers haven't been idle while waiting for the Premier League to kick off again, with some using the time to put their cars up for sale.

Auto Trader, a UK digital marketplace for new and used cars, has a number of luxury cars on sale that were previously owned by famous footballers.

Here’s a roundup of some of the most expensive:

Alex Song’s Rolls-Royce Wraith, £119,950

Ex-Arsenal player Song decided to sell his beloved Rolls Royce after enjoying it for two years, due to his move to Switzerland in 2018. Built in 2014, this two-door 6.6-litre engine only has just 19,120 miles on the clock. No expense was spared on the vehicle, with a full black leather interior, chrome details and even massage seats.

Mark Hateley’s Ferrari 512, £174,900

This SUV was bought as a celebration for Leicester City winning the Premier League back in 2016, with the team’s manager, Ranieri, buying Defenders for each of his defenders – clever. Fuchs’ Land Rover Defender 90 has done just 500 miles since then and remained in impeccable condition. The 2.2-litre manual has cloth black interiors, and a full Overfinch Defender signature on the front.

Vincent Kompany’s Ford Mustang, £49,499
