Cristiano Ronaldo has beaten the competition of Thierry Henry and Eric Cantona to be crowned the best transfer in the Premier League.
Ronaldo prevailed in a countdown of the top 20 Premier League deals that the Transfer Show panel chose on a special Christmas Day program on Sky Sports News. He was one of four Manchester United players in the top 10 along with Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Wayne Rooney.
United signed Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon for £ 12 million in August 2003. Over six seasons at Old Trafford, he won eight major titles, including three Premier League and Champions League titles. During a stellar career, he has scored more than 750 goals, won 30 major trophies, five Ballon d’Or awards and two FIFA Men’s Player of the Year awards.
“When he signed I thought he was a bad signing for United.” Sky Sports News said host Tom White. “So from now on, don’t listen to a word I say.”
Thierry Henry came in second, although many would say he had more of an impact in the Premier League than Ronaldo. He was signed by Arsenal in the summer of 1999 for £ 11 million from Juventus. Over eight seasons at Highbury, he became Invincible, winning two titles and breaking the club’s goal record.
Mohamed Salah was the 11th best signing in the Premier League and the best of those who continue to play in the division
“We wonder who this player was [when Arsenal signed him], ” Sky Sports News said host Jim White. “Well we found out soon enough. Henry for Arsenal – Premier League standout.”
Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero, who scored one of the Premier League’s most famous goals in 2012, was number 19 on the list.
“I have a beautiful wife and our wedding day was spectacular.” Sky Sports News said host Mike Wedderburn. “Seeing my daughter be born was a miracle. But when Agüero scored, the best day of my life, frankly.”
Some star names were left off the list, including Manchester United defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
Sergio Agüero has scored nine goals in all competitions against Manchester United since joining Manchester City in July 2011
Petr Cech was the only goalkeeper on the list. Liverpool, the Premier League champions, are represented by Mohammed Salah (11) and Virgil van Dijk (14).
