Date of arrival - 28 January 2011

Transfer fee - €26.5m

Having conquered the Dutch league with Ajax, where he scored 115 goals in 159 appearances, Liverpool paid the Dutch giants €26.5m to bring him to Anfield in preparation for Fernando Torres' departure to Chelsea.

With Liverpool, Suarez took his goalscoring exploits to even greater heights, banging in goals for fun in a manner not seen at the club since the days of Ian Rush, and in 2014 he was the driving force behind their unlikely but ultimately unsuccessful push for the Premier League trophy.

Suarez ended the 2013/2014 season with 31 goals from just 33 matches which was a joint-league record (since broken by Mo Salah) which saw him win both the EPL and European Golden Boot.

Luis Suarez is a prime goalscorer of the highest proportion, and is the only player in history to have won a Golden Boot in Netherlands, England and Spain (remarkably beating Ronaldo and Messi to the latter award) and for three-and-half years, Liverpool fans were treated to his magical displays.
