World-class strikers that failed at Chelsea

As of today, Chelsea Is considered one of the best football clubs on the planet. The Club has won everything in the span of 19 years after Roman Abramovich’s arrival. Numerous extraordinary strikers have signed with Chelsea since then, But few figured out how to sparkle in the blue shirt. What’s most important, the players who were scoring in other clubs, crumbled under the pressure at Stamford bridge. In the following article, we’re going to discuss the World-class strikers that failed to deliver at Stamford bridge. If you are a fan of Chelsea or any other football club and want to make some bettings, 22Bet TZ is an ideal site for you.

Alvaro Morata

Alvaro Morata is a Spanish football player, who at the age of 29 has already played for giant clubs like Real Madrid, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea. Alvaro started his career for Real Madrid in 2010 and played there for 4 years. He was for the most part bench warmer as the youngster couldn’t give the opposition to the stars like Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema. In 2014, Real Madrid sold the player to Juventus. Morata started to progress vastly in Juventus, yet following 2 years returned to Real Madrid and stayed there for 1 year. In 2017, Chelsea announced that they came to an agreement with The Los Blancos and Morata Signed with Chelsea for the record fee at the time – 60 Million.  Morata played for 2 seasons in a Chelsea shirt and failed to live up to the hype. His first games were productive as he managed to score a few goals, but after some time the Spaniard started to botch more and more chances. In total, Morata played 72 games for Chelsea and scored 24 goals, which might not be the worst thing in the world in general, but for a Striker that was signed for 60 million, it was a total disaster.

Andrei Shevchenko

Chelsea

Andrei Shevchenko is one of the best players in football history.  Andrei joined AC Milan in 1999 and began to play world-class football.  Shevchenko scored 173 goals in 296 games in Rossoneri’s Jersey and won the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup. In 2004, he was even named the best player in the world. In 2006, Chelsea signed The Ukrainian for 30 Million. But as it turned out, this was one of the worst transfers in the history of football. Andrei lost his true self in Chelsea and managed to score only 22 goals in 77 games, which is very disappointing from a former Ballon d’Or winner. In 2009, Andrei left Chelsea and signed with his home club Dynamo Kyiv. 

Fernando Torres

In the second half of the 2000s, Fernando Torres was seen as one of the most talented youngsters in the world. The Spaniard started his career in Atletico Madrid. After a few years of stunning performance, Liverpool signed Torres in 2007. Fernando started to play his best football for the reds for 3 years and even managed to get third place in Ballon d’Or behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.  In 2011, The Blues signed Torres for the record-breaking 50 Million at the time. From that point forward, everything started to go downhill for Fernando. The Spaniard was extremely inefficient on the field, flopping many good moments for his team. In 172 games total, Torres scored 45 goals. Despite his poor performance, Fernando won the most prestigious titles with Chelsea, most notably the Champions League title in 2012.
