The first non-England (and non-English) player in the listings was Nicolas Anelka, then of Manchester City. Anelka began his career at Paris St-Germain, but soon moved to Arsenal. He became a first team regular and won the PFA Young Player Of The Year Award the following season. Real Madrid signed him for £22.3 million in 1999, a record fee, but he did not settle in well and returned to Paris Saint-Germain in a £20 million deal. Despite regular first team football in Paris, Anelka set his eyes upon the Premier League once more; he went on loan to Liverpool in January 2002 but joined Manchester City for £13 million for the start of the 2002–03 season.
