- The player's overall ability (the most important factor)
- How the player will fit into his new lineup
- How the player will adapt to his new surroundings, and vice-versa
- The transfer fee payable, if any, and any other financial details known, with unofficial transfer fees listed as approximations.
From: Arsenal
To: Barcelona
Fee: 34 million euros
It may have been the most tedious of transfer sagas but there can be little doubting the impact that Fabregas’ move will have on both Barcelona and Arsenal. A tactical reshuffle seems likely at Camp Nou and the 24-year-old is the reason for it.
From: Atletico Madrid
To: Manchester CityFee: 38 million euros
The former Atletico Madrid man had been earmarked as the replacement for the unsettled Carlos Tevez but 'El Kun' has the ability to far surpass the achievements of his compatriot at Eastlands. Strong, fast and deadly in front of goal, the explosive star looks set to take the Premier League by storm in 2011-12 and beyond.
3. Samir Nasri
From: Arsenal
To: Manchester City
Fee: 25 million euros
Samir Nasri is a signifier of the power shift currently taking place in the Premier League by joining Roberto Mancini's men. Clearly believing that the Eastlands outfit has the ability to chase silverware, the Frenchman could prove pivotal to his new side's title aspirations.
From: Udinese
To: Barcelona
Fee: 26 million euros
Shortly after joining the European champion, the Chile international declared that he hopes to one day be as good as new teammate Lionel Messi.
5. Arturo Vidal
From: Bayer Leverkusen
To: Juventus
Fee: 10.5 million euros
Having personified consistency in Germany, the 24-year-old will be looking to prove himself as one of, if not the leading, defensive midfielder in Europe with Juventus.
6. Radamel Falcao
From: Porto
To: Atletico Madrid
Fee: 40 million euros
In the two full seasons that Radamel Falcao spent at Porto, he scored 73 goals in 88 games and was pivotal in the side that won the treble under Andre Villas-Boas last campaign. Now he will be expected to replace Sergio Aguero in the Spanish capital. His caliber commanded a huge transfer fee but the Colombian certainly has the ability to justify it.
From: Ajax
To: Roma
Fee: 6.3 million euros
The Italian side has secured a quite astonishing bargain. A World Cup finalist and undoubtedly one of the most consistent goalkeepers on the planet, the 28-year-old keeper will be up there with Serie A's best in 2011-12.

8. Ashley Young
From: Aston Villa
To: Manchester United
Fee: 19 million euros
Not cheap by any means, the former Watford man is likely to move into the Premier League champion's first team. The battle to maintain a place ahead of the likes of Nani will be an absorbing one.

9. Juan Mata
From: Valencia
To: Chelsea Fee: 26 million euros
A lack of creativity among the Chelsea ranks was plain for all to see as Manchester United strolled towards the title. Juan Mata has the ability to change all that and got off to the perfect start with a strike against Norwich on his debut.
10. Manuel Neuer
From: Schalke
To: Bayern Munich
Fee: 18 million euros
Having solidified his position among the continent's finest goalkeepers at the Veltins Arena last season, Neuer moves to Bayern Munich in the form of his life.
