As the 2010s draw to a close, it is time to take a look back at a memorable 10 years with a series of Premier League countdowns.
The last decade has seen plenty of signings - some good, some bad and some ugly - and Sportsmail is here to go through the very best.
From 20 to 1, and featuring the likes of Virgin van Dijk, Luis Suarez and Robin van Persie, let's take a look at the full rundown...
20. Ayoze Perez (Tenerife to Newcastle, £1.5m)
Plucked from the Spanish second division in June 2014 for a mere £1.5m, Ayoze Perez was reported to have rejected interest from the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Porto to move to St James' Park.
Not only did he earn the club a £30m transfer fee when he moved to Leicester in the summer, he also stuck around through relegation and a season in the Championship during his 195-game spell in the north east.
Ayoze Perez arrived at Newcastle for just £1.5m and was sold for £30m in the last window
