So let us quickly dive into some of the best deadline day deals that prospered for the clubs.

#5 Luis Suarez

Suarez went on to become one of Liverpool's greatest strikers

Luis Suarez signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Liverpool on 31 January 2011. Only a few could have envisioned the success he would go on to achieve.

Suarez spent three-and-half seasons at Liverpool, and reached new levels season after season.

In his first six months at Anfield, he helped his team finish sixth, up from 12th when he arrived in January. The same year, he propelled Uruguay to their 15th Copa America title, scoring four goals and claiming player of the tournament in the process.

The second season for Suarez at Liverpool was a disappointment to his standards, as he scored 11 league goals, and that wasn't enough for Liverpool to finish inside the top-four.

The third season was one of the best as an individual for Suarez as he finished second in the race for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, and the Premier League's Golden Boot. He was named Liverpool's player of the season.

The 2013-14 season was the best season for Luis Suarez in a Liverpool shirt, as he scored 31 goals and won the Premier League Golden Boot and FA Writers Player of the Year. His contributions helped Liverpool get back into the Champions League, but they missed out on the title to Manchester City.

"Suarez has shown in his time at Liverpool in the last year or so that he is nearly unplayable. He on his own can occupy a back four with his movement and his cleverness." - Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers during the 2013-14 season.

Luis Suarez eventually signed for Barcelona after a sensational season with Liverpool, where he won the Champions League the following season.

#4 Mesut Ozil

Arsenal pulled off a sensational deadline day swoop for Mesut Ozil in September 2013

Arsenal captured Mesut Ozil for a then club record fee of £42.5 million from Real Madrid in 2013. It was the beginning of a foray of big signings after relief from their stadium debt.

"He is a great player, with proven quality at both club and international level. We have watched and admired him for some time as he has all the attributes I look for in an Arsenal player." - Arsene Wenger after Ozil's move

Many people doubted Ozil's suitability to the Premier League style, but he proved doubters wrong. He became a crucial player, and was the spine of the midfield for Arsenal for their triple FA Cup success.

The 2015-16 season was one of the best Ozil has had in an Arsenal shirt, with 20 assists and eight goals in all competitions earning him Arsenal's player of the year award.

He is likely to be a crucial player again this season, and will hope to play a key role in new manager Unai Emery's team.

#3 Gareth Bale

Bale has been pivotal to Real's consecutive Champions League successes

Real Madrid signed Gareth Bale for £85.3 million in September 2013. It was the world record fee at that time surpassing the previous £80 million fee set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gareth Bale's first season was a roller coaster due to injuries, but the highlight of the season came in the thrilling 2014 Copa del Rey final where he outsprinted Marc Bartra from the half-way line and off the pitch before netting the winner in the 84th minute. Bale also scored in their Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid.

Here is a video of his incredible solo goal against Barcelona in the 2014 Copa del Rey final.

The Welsh Wizard is known for his powerful and stunning goals; he produced one of such stunning goals and a noteworthy performance against Liverpool in last year's Champions League final. His overhead kick was undoubtedly one of the best Champions League goals ever. His brace propelled Real Madrid to their third consecutive Champions League victory.

After the departure of Real Madrid's talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale will be the man to replace Ronaldo, and he has all the potential to do that.

#2 Wayne Rooney

Rooney announced himself with a stunning hat-trick against Fenerbahce

Manchester United signed 18-year-old Wayne Rooney in 2004, spending nearly £25 million, which was a then-record for a teenager.

An overwhelming talent for his age when Manchester United signed him, although his main position is as a striker, he can play in any position on the pitch. Rooney has a powerful game, mixed with technical and physical attributes, and he is a prolific goal scorer.

Rooney was one of the best signings in Manchester United's history, and as he is Manchester United's all-time top scorer with 253 goals. He won everything at club level with Manchester United, and became captain in 2014. He is regarded as one of the best players in the club's history.

Manchester United fans will remember Wayne Rooney forever as their idol and his overhead stunner against their neighbours Manchester City will give them goosebumps whenever they see it.

“The best goal was definitely against Man City, It was phenomenal". - Sir Alex Ferguson on Rooney's best goals

#1 Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint Germain unveil new signing Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint Germain signed Kylian Mbappe from AS Monaco in 2017, on transfer deadline day for a season-long loan and an obligation to buy him permanently that could be worth up to a mammoth fee of £165.1 million.

Mbappe burst onto the scene when he helped AS Monaco to the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title by scoring 15 goals in the second half of the season.

PSG captured the teenage sensation without wasting any time, although it cost them a huge amount of money, which is only second to £203.6 million they paid to Barcelona for Neymar.

At the age of 19, he has won the Ligue 1 twice and helped France to lift the World Cup as well, and he is undoubtedly a world-class player who could go on to break many records in the coming years. He is a player who could replace the Messi-Ronaldo pair as far as the Ballon d'Or is concerned in the following years.
