Premier League Transfer Deadline Day: 5 best Summer deadline day transfers that have happened in the Premier League

Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham to Manchester United)

This was a move that caused a rift between the two sides. Prior to the 2008/09 season, Alex Ferguson was quoted by newspapers saying he expected to sign Dimitar Berbatov. Tottenham then submitted a complain to the Premier League accusing United of breaking league rules.

The Saga continued all summer before Tottenham finally sold him on 1st September 2008 for £30.75 million. Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger had claimed that Tottenham had used the complaint to negotiate a higher price. However, with how his career panned out in the end, United will not mind the money they shelled out.

Berbatov spent 4 years at Manchester United and won the Premier League twice. He was phenomenal in the 2010/11 season in which he scored 21 goals to help United to the League and himself towards the Golden Boot. In all, Berbatov made 149 goals for United and racked up 56 goals for the Red Devils.
