1. Nicolas Anelka
Signed: 11th January 2008
Fee: £15,000,000 I have always been a big fan of Nicolas Anelka and may have been a tad biased in choosing him for the number one spot! Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that he is a strong contender for one of Chelsea's best ever signings, not just in the January window. Over his 4 seasons at Stamford Bridge he made 104 league appearances and scored 38 goals including numerous crucial strikes to help Chelsea on the way to lifting the FA Cup in 2009. He was pacey, skillful, and on his day unstoppable. For me, he is the best January signing that Chelsea have ever made.
