BREAKING: SkySport List Out 20 Worst Premier League Signings In The Last Decade From Each Premier League Team With Big Fees, Bigger Flops……. See List
The Premier League has seen its fair share of blockbuster transfers—but not all glitter turns to gold. As the list of the 20 worst signings is outlined, three names stand out for the wrong reasons: Manchester United’s €85m capture of Antony from Ajax, Chelsea’s €89m move for Mykhailo Mudryk, and Arsenal’s €72m splurge on Nicolas Pépé.
Antony arrived at Old Trafford with high expectations, reuniting with Erik ten Hag, but his performances have failed to match the price tag. Lacking end product and consistency, he’s become a symbol of United’s scattergun recruitment in recent years.
At Stamford Bridge, Mudryk’s €89m signing from Shakhtar Donetsk stunned fans and pundits alike. Touted as a future star, the Ukrainian winger has struggled to adapt, with flashes of brilliance drowned by long spells of anonymity. So far, his impact has been minimal.
Arsenal’s record fee for Nicolas Pépé once promised a new attacking era at the Emirates. But the Ivorian’s stint in North London never truly got off the ground, marked by inconsistency and eventual exile.
These cases are painful reminders that big fees don’t guarantee success—sometimes, they just magnify the failure.
