The Best Premier League January Transfers of all Time

#2. Luis Suarez (Ajax to Liverpool, 2011)

Suarez was sublime for Liverpool

In January 2011, Liverpool embarked to do three deals. The first saw them selling their star striker to Chelsea for nearly £50m. With the money from the Torres deal, they decided to bring in two strikers: Luis Suarez and Andy Carrol.

While the former was arguably Liverpool’s greatest ever signing, the latter competes in a short list to be the worst ever.

Coming back to the Uruguayan, he appeared for the Reds on 110 occasions in the league and made the net bulge 69 times.

Yet, what most people would recall about Suarez was the forward’s scintillating form in the 2013-14 season. The striker nearly single-handedly powered Liverpool to the title.

However, in the end, his 31 league goals weren’t enough as Liverpool infamously contrived to let the title slip from their grasp.

Though Suarez embroiled himself in a controversy or two, there can be no qualms about him being one of the most talented forwards to have graced the Premier League.

Blessed with the ability to create a goal out of nothing, the Uruguayan was a joy to watch in a Liverpool shirt and turned defences inside out with his sumptuous displays.

Thus, it is just a shame that Suarez could only enthral the audiences in England for three and a half seasons.

Yet, there can be no doubt that he was simply one of the outstanding winter signings.
