So here we look at certain players who have been successful to indicate indicating that the Premier League by far is the most marketable league in the world

Top signings in the last decade in the PL

DAVID SILVA(2010)

David silva is easily one of stand out signings because his style of play and his consistency is so magical that many don't notice how people feed off his gracefulness. City have many brilliant players he is the icing on the cake

In ten seasons with City, Silva won four Premier Leagues, two FA Cups, and five League Cups before moving to Real Sociedad in 2020. He has been in the "PFA team of the year" three times, and he played 125 times for Spain, winning the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2008, and Euro 2012. 

Appearances: 309

Goals: 60 

Assists: 93 

Eden Hazard - Chelsea (2012):

 In his seven seasons at Chelsea, Hazard won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup, and the 2013 and 2019 Europa Leagues before joining Real Madrid in 2019. He was Player of the Season in 2015, has been in the "PFA team of the year" four times

Appearances: 245

Goals: 85 (0.35)

Assists: 54 (0.22)

Hazard's signing by Chelsea in 2012 brought immense skill and flair to the Premier League. He played a pivotal role in Chelsea's success, helping them win multiple domestic titles, including the Premier League in 2015 and 2017.

He was mainly remembered for how a modern winger can be so influential to a team both in attacking as well as defending paving way for many wingers like Mane and salah as one of the great wingers. Hence he deserves a mention in this list

Bruno Fernandes - Manchester United (2020)

 Fernandes' signing by Manchester United in 2020 revitalized the team. His impact was immediate, providing creativity, goals, and leadership. He played a key role in helping Manchester United secure a top-four finish and reach the UEFA Europa League final in his first season.

From day one of his United career, Fernandes has taken it upon himself to drive the team forward, both in and out of possession.

He became the quickest player to reach five goals and five assists in Premier League history (nine games) after his lightning-fast start to life at Old Trafford, and his haul of 28 goals in 2020-21 saw him break Frank Lampard's record for the most goals from an English top-flight midfielder across all competitions in a single season and another host of records.

For all these feats he definitely deserves a mention in this list 

Van Dijk(2017)

Van Dijk's transfer to Liverpool in 2018 transformed their defense for then a world record fee of 75 euros . His commanding presence and exceptional skills as well as His positioning is one of his greatest strengths. Rarely will Van Dijk be caught out of position and running to try and catch up with play, was instrumental in Liverpool's success, winning the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League title in 2020.

He was also named PFA Players' Player of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season in his first full season. Van Dijk later won the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup, and helped end the club's 30-year league title drought by winning the 2019–20 Premier League. He is the only defender to win the UEFA Men's Player of the Year Award, and has finished runner-up for both the Ballon d'Or and Best FIFA Men's Player, all in 2019. Van Dijk has also been selected in the FIFPRO Men's World 11 in three different years.

He has a Maldini-like effect on teams as teams are fearful of facing him and our defense when he is at his best…and to be honest, it is very rare to see his bread of defenders, this also calls out for the lack of recognition of defenders in the modern era. Hence if a defender needed mentioning it is hard to look beyond VVD

Thibaut Courtois - Chelsea (2011):

 Courtois joined Chelsea in 2011 but spent the following three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid. Upon his return to Chelsea in 2014, he became their first-choice goalkeeper pipping cech who was a chelsea great and played a crucial role in their title-winning campaign in the 2014-2015 season.

Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, he is known for reflexes, acrobatic saves, and command of the penalty area.

Very few keepers have replicated the defensive solidity of the Chelsea side Courtois was in they were so watertight that they only allowed 20 goals past them in a whole PL season..he was key to them being so good. Although many keepers have come and gone u might argue that he had a very good defense….Chelsea still hasn't replaced him, hence Courtois deserves a mention.
