Everton v Liverpool - Premier League
Luis Suarez is one of the greatest strikers to have graced the Premier League

111 goals in 154 appearances - if that isn't enough to attract the big clubs, then what is? A 24-year-old Luis Suarez posted that incredible goalscoring record for Ajax before making his move into the Premier League to join Liverpool.

Liverpool left it late to sign the Uruguayan for roughly £23m in 2011, only securing the striker's services on deadline day. Suarez always showed the potential to become great at Ajax and joining Liverpool transformed him into one of the best marksmen in recent times.

Throughout his career, he has been lauded for his great finishing skills, his unpredictability and a fantastic work rate.

His qualities ensured him the Premier League Player of the Season award in the 2013-14 campaign. During that season, he also scored 31 goals in 33 games, which won him the Golden Boot, too. On the club level, he only won the League Cup with Liverpool, his solitary trophy in a four-year spell with the club.

Suarez joined Barcelona in 2014 for a fee of £73.5m and has gone down as one of the most successful strikers of the current era as well as probably the best winter signing of all time.
