JUAN CUADRADO – FIORENTINA TO CHELSEA, £24 million (WINTER 2015)
After shining at the 2014 World Cup for Colombia, and impressing many in Italy with his lightning pace and attacking mentality, Juan Cuadrado joined Chelsea in February of 2015 for a fee of £24 million.
Initially touted as a player ideally suited to the Premier League and someone who might just take the league by storm, this proved to be far from the case in the end.
Making just 14 appearances in the latter half of the 2014-2015 season, before being loaned to Italian champions Juventus for the following season, Cuadrado failed to make any sort of impression on then-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
With a new boss at the helm however in the form of Antonio Conte – formerly of Juventus and an admirer of Cuadrado in the past – the winger may still yet have a future at the club.
