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

Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead.
