Premier League: Every EPL club's record transfer ranked

#2 Liverpool

Player: Virgil Van Dijk

Transfer fee: £75 million

Bought from: Southampton

Liverpool FC's Virgil Van Dijk

Virgil van Dijk became the most expensive defender when Liverpool splashed £75 million for him during last season’s winter transfer window. The Dutch centre-back has been fabulous since his arrival and has turned Liverpool into title contenders this season. He is one of the most complete centre-backs in the world and can play from the back, is dominant in the air and is a strong tackler of the ball. The 27-year-old hasn’t been dribbled past this season across all competition this season, which is stunning considering the fact that he has faced the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, and Neymar. The centre-back has been one of Liverpool's best ever signing.

#1 Manchester United

Player: Paul Pogba

Transfer fee: £89 million

Bought from: Juventus

Manchester United's Paul Pogba

Manchester United exhibited its financial muscle-power when they splashed the world record fee for midfielder Paul Pogba back in 2016. Pogba is one of the best centre-midfielders in the world and possesses unmatched qualities. The 6’3’’ midfielder can dribble past opponents, create chances and has the ability to hit the back of the net from long ranges. The 26-year-old has had his ups and downs in the United red but has found a level of consistency under the new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
