#5 Carlos Tevez (Corinthians to West Ham United - undisclosed)
After having impressed for Argentina at the 2006 World Cup, Carlos Tevez found himself on the radar of many of Europe’s heavyweights.
But instead, he ended up rather strangely at West Ham United on deadline day of August 2006.
He might have moved to Manchester United only a year into his stint at Upton Park, but the Argentine striker single-handedly dragged West Ham out of a long relegation dogfight, scoring eight goals in the club’s last 10 games of the season.
His last goal for West Ham? A winner on the final matchday against the Red Devils to keep the club’s head above the water.
