2017-18: Leicester City's move for Kelechi Iheanacho (€27.7 million from Manchester City)

This was the season that broke the transfer window.

But perhaps because of the longevity of Jamie Vardy, Iheanacho remained the same player he was at City: a productive bench guy.

Over his six seasons with Leicester in the Premier League, he averaged about 0.70 non-penalty goals+assists per 90 -- a Champions League-starter-level rate.

Liverpool immediately won the Champions League in his first season with the club -- but he only started 16 league games, and that would be the high watermark for his five years at Liverpool.

Keita still had some fantastic moments with the club, and it's not a coincidence that Liverpool put up their two best two-front seasons -- 2018-19 and 2021-22 -- in the two seasons when he started 10-plus league matches.

Instead, they signed perhaps the two most exciting young midfielders on the market to overhaul a position group that started the Champions League final with Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks.

Tanguy Ndombele was just 22 and had already started 60-plus games in Ligue 1.

At 22, Enzo was two years older than Ryan Gravenberch -- and as of today, they're both two of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Of course, Bayern Munich do not play in the Premier League, but this was a savvy move for a player who made over 60 Eredivisie starts before his age-20 season.

However, Gravenberch lasted only one season with Bayern, where he started three matches before moving to Liverpool, where he started 37 or 38 matches as the club won its 20th Premier League title last season.

At 22, Ian Maatsen had just started a Champions League final while on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
