Football Transfers Can Do Many Things; They Can Inspire, Galvanise & Shock.

With Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho both generating a buzz after arriving at Manchester United, and Manchester City’s pursuit of England internationals Harry Kane and Jack Grealish picking up pace, BBC Sport has put together a list of Premier League ‘wow’ signings.

We know you’ll have your own opinions, but here’s what we’ve come up with. Feel free to add your own contenders in the comments section below.

Robinho – Real Madrid to Manchester City (2008).
What a way for Manchester City’s new owners to announce themselves. On deadline day in 2008, the Abu Dhabi United Group completed a takeover of the club and instantly set about making themselves known.

Brazil and Real Madrid forward Robinho had been a target for Chelsea, but City managed to secure a whirlwind £32.5m deal, a British record at the time, and suddenly appeared a threat to the elite.

A debut goal, against Chelsea, was the precursor to a spell that had its moments, but was fraught with inconsistency and attitude problems. City eventually sold Robinho to AC Milan in 2010 after loaning him to his first club Santos, and took a different route to spending their millions on building a Premier League-winning side.

Andriy Shevchenko – AC Milan to Chelsea (2006).
When back-to-back Premier League champions Chelsea struck a deal to sign arguably Europe’s best striker in 2006, things looked ominous for the rest of the division.

Andriy Shevchenko was at his peak when he left AC Milan for Stamford Bridge, and by recruiting him, and Germany midfielder Michael Ballack on a free from Bayern Munich, it looked like Jose Mourinho was only tightening his grip on English football’s top prize.

Yet, despite scoring on his debut in the Community Shield against Liverpool, Shevchenko never asserted himself at the club ahead of main striker Didier Drogba. In three years, which included a forgettable loan return to Milan, he scored just nine league goals in 48 games, as Manchester United added successive titles to their collection.

Alan Shearer – Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle United (1996).
After scoring 34 goals en route to Blackburn Rovers’ only Premier League title in 1995 and then winning the Golden Boot at Euro 96 a year later, Alan Shearer was a hot commodity.

He informed Blackburn owner Jack Walker of his desire to leave, and it soon became a straight shootout between Manchester United and his hometown club Newcastle United for his signature.

Eventually, Newcastle signed him for £15m, then a world record, and thousands of fans flocked to St James’ Park to welcome Shearer home. He was the man Kevin Keegan hoped would fire the Magpies to success after a spectacular collapse the previous season, surrendering a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League to the Red Devils.

He went on to become their record goalscorer, but never managed to lift any silverware.

Virgil van Dijk – Southampton to Liverpool (2018).
Jurgen Klopp was halfway through his second full season at Liverpool and his problem was clear. If he was to take the club where he wanted,.........
