Your support makes all the difference.There are less than two weeks remaining in the January transfer window and there have already been some interesting moves.
With the race for the top four and the battle to stay in the Premier League still open, January moves could prove crucial come the end of the season. Frank Lampard will hope Chelsea will make some moves after their transfer ban was lifted, while Mikel Arteta and Jose Mourinho, entering their first window with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, will be eager to boost their squads as they begin transforming their sides.
Liverpool have added depth to their squad with the acquisition of Takumi Minamino, while the Japanese star's ex-teammate Erling Haaland also moved on from Salzburg this month, with Borussia Dortmund prevailing in the hotly-contested race.
Serie A clubs, unsurprisingly, have been busy this month, with much more to come in the days ahead across the continent.
Here we rank the top 20 moves of the window, taking into account immediate impact regarding the outcome of the current campaign and their likely contribution, along with the potential for long-term success and for the player to appreciate in value.
Who is your best signing of the month so far?
