#2 Robbie Keane to Leeds United from Inter Milan (2000)
The young Irishman had been one of the Premier League's hottest young properties during his time at Coventry City. His impudence, confidence, skill, and finishing made him a desirable target for Europe's top sides.
A lengthy chase followed and Inter Milan under Marcelo Lippi got his signature for £13m in 2000. However, Lippi was subsequently sacked by the Italian giants. New manager, Marco Tardelli was not enamoured of the Irish international's charms and kept him out of the first team set-up.
Leeds United had been very impressive under manager David O'Leary. Keane was seen as the ideal candidate to add to the team's attacking arsenal. A loan deal was agreed and he joined Leeds in December 2000.
He made an instant impact at Elland Road scoring 9 times in 14 games as Leeds pushed hard for a UEFA Champions League spot before losing out to Newcastle United with a 6-point difference.
