Top 5 transfers in English Premier League history

The English Premier League has had some of the world’s greatest players scoring goals and entertaining fans. For some clubs bringing a player in completely changed their fortune. Let's take a look at the top five transfers in Premier League history.

5. Cristiano Ronaldo - Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United, 2003 (£12.24m)

Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t a household name when he came to Old Trafford in 2003. When he left for Real Madrid in 2009, he was one of the best players on earth. He scored 84 goals for the Red Devils, won three EPL titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, one Champions League title and one Club World Cup.

He was the man at Manchester United, and it’s easily one of the biggest steals any team has ever had.

4. Sergio Agüero - Atlético Madrid to Manchester City, 2011 (£38m)

Sergio Agüero was an expensive transfer for a Manchester City team that was trying to pump money into players who could contend for a title. Agüero delivered that title in his first year, when he became a club legend with his goal in extra time during final match of the season, which gave them the EPL title over crosstown rival Manchester United.
