Anelka to Arsenal for 500K who was then sold to Real Madrid 18 Months later for £23m. Arsene Wenger used the funds of the transfer to create the best training facility in English football at the time, and used the spare £11m to sign Thierry Henry who went on to be the best player in prem history.

Kompany: signed window before takeover but was key to where city are today Vidic - signed from Moscow and went on to be one of the most feared defenders ever Alan Shearer - bought for under 5m by Blackburn; wins the league and sold for a British record fee to Newcastle Jay Jay Ococha - on a free from PSG to Bolton and his impact commercially and on the pitch was astronomical My fav: Juniniho to Middlesbrough There has never been a player then and since who impacted a EPL team directly from a South American team

Hazard to Chelsea was better. Won far more trophies and was crucial to our success. He was the club's best player for 5 of the 7 seasons he spent in the Prem and was arguably the league's best player for at least 3 and maybe 4 seasons outright. Carried the club for a couple of years when we had a declining squad and was sold for 140 million including add ons with one year left on his deal.

Coutinho to Liverpool was one of the best ever transfer. • He came cheap, at just €13m. • During his stay, he was one of the best players in the world and contributed highly to Liverpool. • He was sold at €135m, a 10x profit. • His transfer funded for players like Allison Becker and Virgil Van Dijk, which transformed the team. • In a macabre way, him not working out for Barcelona also ensured that this transfer never strengthened their rivals, most notably in the 2018/19 CL semi-final.

Premier League: Henry. 16 million euros for probably the best PL striker of the early-mid 2000s, club legend, and arguably the greatest gunner of all time. Bundesliga: Gerd Muller. They signed him when he was 18-17 years old with not much experience after being Third Division champion. Went on to win 13 titles with Bayern with 3 UCLs. Serie A: Milito is my pick. Bought for 28 million euros and scored all four goals in the decisive matches for Inter in the 2009-2010 season (1-0 vs Roma in Coppa Italia's final, 2-0 vs Bayern in UCL's final, and 1-0 against Siena in the last game of the season clinching the Serie A title). Ligue 1: Juninho Pernambucano. 100 goals for Lyon. 7 Ligue 1 titles in a row + 1 Coupe de France. That's it. If I'm not mistaken, Lyon did not pay a dime for him. LaLiga: CR7.

Since no one has mentioned him in the comments, I put my case forward for Andy Robertson. £8m from a relegated Hull City in an era when some clubs will spend 3 to 4 times that much for a backup full back. Always reliable and available and is on pace not only to break the premier league record for most assists by a defender but, fitness and form permitting, might even reach the overall top 10 in 3 or so seasons. And yes I know Trent will absolutely smash that record but for now Robbo is ahead on that list. He is already a premier league great in terms of left backs. Only real question left is where amongst the greats will he rank

Roque Santa Cruz: £3.5m from Bayern Munich, sold for £17.5m David Bentley: 6 figure fee from Arsenal, sold for £15m. Chris Samba: bought from Hertha Berlin for £450k, sold for £12.3m to Anzhi.

As an Everton fan it's Coleman. £60k acquisition value. He's not and hasn't ever been the best RB in the world, but he was top 3 in the PL for years. Value could easily have been £25m - 415x his acquisition cost.

Cantona from Leeds to United, no question about it. He retired over 20 years ago and I still miss the guy! No Cantona, no Fergie, no class of '92. Eric changed the course of United's history. The magnificent reign of Fergie was kick started by Le King.

I would have to go with Vincent kompany or Sergio Aguero. Vincent kompany costing only around 10 million who went on to become an integral leader for the squad since his departure, and would go on and become on of the worlds best defenders. As for Aguero well I don’t think I need Mitch explaining 36 million at the time, but you can’t argue that price since he scored probably the most iconic goal of all time, and would go one to become one of the best prem strikers ever.

Gianfranco Zola to Chelsea. He cost £4.5m at the age of 30(quite high for 1996). He goes on to win major 5 trophies in 4 years (the clubs first silverware since the early 70s) and inspires Roman Abramovich to buy the club.

Best EVER PL transfer is clearly, Eric Cantona, he was the cog which helped Manchester United to win their first Premier League title, and all the money that came with that, he was the one that the class of 92 looked up to, he helped the club to win two doubles, and set them on their way to winning THE Treble. Without him, would Beckham, Scholes, etc have won as much as they did, would they have been as big a household name?? Most likely not. Value for money, success, it all points towards Eric Cantona, with second place Peter Schmeichel.

I'd argue Seamus Coleman, whilst he didn't have the massive impact that Kante had, didn't take Everton to titles or nothing, they signed him for 60k, no that's not a typo, it's not meant to be 600, it's 60k ffs, even if they sold him right now, at age 35, they'd still turn a profit from transfer fee to transfer fee, on top of the 341 PL appearances (398 across all comps) idk if there's any player that can come close to value for transfer fee paid (excluding frees/academy players ofc)

Kante is the obvious choice, but I think I would argue for another player, with regards to the criteria set up in the video. Coutinho was bought for 8.5 million and sold for 146 million. I'm not arguing the impact Coutinho had on the field was bigger than Kante, but the money earned, allowed Liverpool to transform the team and sustain a much higher level than they had. Whatever Kante did at Leicester, it seems to have faded away at this point, as they look to be going in the wrong direction the last couple of season, where the sale of Coutinho, is still a big part of the reason for Liverpools success. I'm not sure the Drinkwater sale is representative of Kantes impact, but more of Chelseas short term desperation for a home grown midfielder to fill a void.

Cristiano Ronaldo during his first spell at Manchester United when he arrived from Sporting CP. I say this even as diehard Liverpool supporter. It was a completely transformative transfer for not only Man United but for the Premier League and world football at large, since he would kick on his unprecedented run of Ballon d'Or triumphs and get in the conversation of GOAT status alongside Lionel Messi.

Since this was titled 'Premier League transfer' I assumed that it was going to be between Prem clubs... in which case the answer would be: Eric Cantona, from Leeds Utd to MUFC even though he retired and so cost them the full 1 million pound fee, his impact on the team, the club, the league and the game are altogether unmatched (IMHO).
