Over the last years the transfer fees for players went sky high. It’s only 16 years ago Manchester United paid a record of 18.5 million pounds for Ruud van Nistelrooy. Sixteen years later Manchester United paid more than four times this amount for Romelu Lukaku. Therefore, I’ve created a list with the top 100 Premier League signings. At the end of every transfer window I will update this list.
