The biggest transfer bargains ever in football history (a thread). Took me a while to make, likes and rts much appreciated.
1.Frenkie de jong🇳🇱. From willem II to ajax for £1. Yes, you read that right, £1😳. 22 years of age at time of the transfer, ajax then sold him for 75 million euros. At only 23 years old now, de jong has got some serious potential and will only get better.
2.Robin van persie🇳🇱. From Feyenoord to arsenal for 2.75 mil. Playing 194 times for arsenal over a period of 8 years, RVP scored an impressive 96 goals. He later left arsenal for united for a fee of 22.5 million. One of the best strikers to ever play in the prem?
3.Riyad Mahrez🇩🇿. From le harve to Leicester to £400,000. 2015/16, a campaign Leicester will never forget, a season In which Mahrez stood out in,getting 17 goals and 10 assists,playing a major part in Leicester title winning season. odds for them to win the league were 5000-1 😳
4.Zlatan ibrahimovic🇸🇪.From psg to Manchester United for free.Jose Mourinho brought the infamous striker to Old Trafford at the start of 2016/17 and even at the old age of 35.he still managed to bag 28 in 46, helping united to a Europa league trophy
5.Cristiano ronaldo🇵🇹. From sporting to Manchester United for 12 million. Do I really need to say anything else? Being the most expensive teenager at the time,it may have been a gamble, but I think it’s safe to say it was not a gamble. Is he the greatest of all time?
6.Jay-jay okocha🇳🇬. From psg to Bolton for free. One of the most gifted players the prem has ever seen, he led Bolton to their first cup final in 9 years. “ so good they named him twice”
7.Paolo di canio🇮🇹.From Sheffield United to westham for 1.75 million.Pushing a referee over, protesting mid way through a match as he was denied a penalty, he was always in the headlines. But who can forget THAT volley against Wimbledon. “OH DI CANIO, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT”
8. Michu🇪🇸.From Rayo vallecano to Swansea for 2 million. The streets will never forget this baller. Following his move from Spain,he hit the ground running, scoring 22 in 43 as he led Swansea to a league cup. Unfortunately, he failed to ever replicate a season remotely like this
9.James Milner🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. From Manchester City to Liverpool for free. If Professionalism and versatility was a player. Gets the job done, one of the most consistent performers in the premier league, helping the reds to their sixth champions league
10.henrik larsson🇸🇪. From feyenoord to Celtic for £650,000. A legal dispute with Feyenoord meant Larsson was allowed to leave for Scotland and what a move it proved to be.The Swedish striker scored an astonishing 242 goals in 313 Celtic appearances
