3. Branislav Ivanovic
Signed: 16th January 2008
Fee: £9,000,000 For Chelsea, Branislav Ivanovic is an unsung hero. He quietly gets on with his own game, rarely will you see him in the face of the referee or in the newspapers for the wrong reasons. Since joining the club in 2008, Ivanovic has proven himself to be a strong tackler, an immense header of the ball, and a constant threat when going forward. He often pops up with unlikely goals at crucial times, such as the game against Sunderland on 7th April when he took Chelsea to a vital 2-1 win in order to continue their push for a top 3 finish!
