10 major football highlights in 2017

#2 Neymar's world record transfer to PSG

Regardless of who you play for, or who you support, or whether you're even a football fan or not, I am fairly confident that the news of this event would've certainly elicited a reaction from you. This was a proper disturbance in the force, and it paved the way for the inflated transfer fees, now prevalent in pretty much every aspect of the transfer market.

Having won ten titles over four successful seasons with FC Barcelona, Neymar took the leap to transfer to Paris Saint-Germain for a world record fee of €222 million. Following his move to Paris, Neymar has taken to the responsibility like a fish to water, scoring 17 goals and assisting a further 12 in 20 games in all competitions.

Whilst his transfer fee did rewrite history, only time will tell if he will do the same in Paris Saint-Germain.
