The transfer market in 2011 was bustling, with the top ten transfers featuring some of the most renowned names in football.

Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Mata, Sanchez, Eto'o, Fabregas...

If Ye Chen's transfer were to succeed, the £30 million would place him fourth on the 2011 transfer list.

Just behind Aguero's €45 million, Pastore's €43 million, and Falcao's €40 million.
