Ronaldo was the first in the midst of 20 major Premier League agreements, according to Sky Sports News' programme for transfers.

He was one of the four Manchester United players on top 10 together with Eric Cantonan, Roy Keane and Wayne Rooneyn.

Manchester United signed with Ronaldo from the Lisbon Sports for 12 million pounds in August 2003.

During six seasons at Old Tuffford, he won eight trophies, including three titles of Premier League and Champions League.

During his career, he has scored more than 750 goals, won 30 large trophies, five Golden Balls and two awards as best player FIFA.

Thierry Henry came in second though many would say he had more influence on Premier League than Ronaldo.

Arsenal bought it in the summer of 1999 for 11 million pounds from Juvenous. During eight seasons in Highbury, he became invincible, while winning two titles and broke the club's goals record.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, who scored one of the most famous Premier League goals in 2012, is 19th on the list.

Some names of stars left outside the list are the defenders of Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Petr Cic was the only goalkeeper on the list.

The Premier League champions Liverpool are represented by Mohammed Salah (11) and Virgil van Dijk (14).
