N’Golo Kante might perhaps be Chelsea’s signing of the decade. Having won the Premier League with Leicester last season, the Frenchman has been on what appears to be a one man mission to repeat the feat with new club Chelsea this season.
It was a feat he achieved last Friday, as Antonio Conte’s side won the Premier League with a dramatic 1-0 victory over West Brom to clinch the title. In doing so, Kante became the first player in history to win back-to-back titles with two different clubs. Quite an achievement.
However, not all of the Blues’ signings over the past decade or two have quite been the same calibre or had a similar impact of the arrival of the one man tackling machine that is Kante.
Owner Roman Abramovich has seen nearly £900million depart from his wallet since his arrival at the club back in 2003, and while generally his tenure has been a success, the Russian must be left wondering just where some of his hard-earned money went.
Infamous for signing strikers that just aren’t quite able to cut it, including the likes of Fernando Torres, Andrei Shevchenko, Adrian Mutu, Mateja Kezman among many others, there have also been a number of players in other positions that Chelsea fans and Roman Abrahiovich will laugh at the thought of, or perhaps not considering their cost.
Who do you think has been Chelsea’s worst signing under Abramovich? Have your say in the poll below…
