Chelsea Transfers: 5 Best & 5 Worst Ever January Deals

2. Franco Di Santo

disanto Signed: 25th January 2008 Fee: £3,000,000 Franco Di Santo has never been a prolific striker in the Premier League and his time at Chelsea can be said to have been far less than successful. In his two seasons at Stamford Bridge he didn't start a single match and didn't ever get on the scoresheet either! This signing seemed to be a panic buy under the Abramovich regime as results were not going Chelsea's way and goals were hard to come by. It proved to be less than fruitful and Di Santo was loaned to Blackburn before being sold on, two seasons after joining the Blues.
