A list of the best Premier League signings over the last decade has been published online.
The Daily Mail have ranked their top 20 transfers made by Prem teams over the last 10 years.
Sergio Aguero comes out on top in the list, making a £38million switch from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City in 2011 and helping them to four league titles.
French midfielder N'Golo Kante is a close second after joining Leicester from Caen in 2013 for £5.6million.
Kante was a key part of the Leicester side which won the Premier League in 2016, then he joined Chelsea the following summer and repeated the feat.
Man City playmaker David Silva came in at number three after his £24million move from Valencia in 2010.
In fourth place is Liverpool's number four - £75million centre back Virgil van Dijk who joined from Southampton two years ago.
Liverpool were leaky at the back before Van Dijk's arrival, but since he joined the Reds have turned from nearly men into European champions and Premier League contenders.
Another member of Liverpool's defence came in at number five - £8million Scottish left-back Andy Robertson.
The top 10 was rounded out by Robin van Persie, Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard, Yaya Toure and David de Gea.
The likes of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Kevin de Bruyne all missed out on the top 10, but were included in the Daily Mail's list.
