#10 Robbie Keane - Tottenham to Liverpool (20 million)
Robbie Keane will always remain one of the most celebrated players of the Premier League era but his £20 million move to Liverpool from Tottenham was a rather unfortunate one for the player.
Known for his goal-scoring and creative abilities, Rafael Benitez, the then Liverpool manager expected him to be the perfect partner for Fernando Torres upfront. Having scored more than 100 goals for Tottenham, he was expected to light up Anfield.
However, seven goals and six months later he was shipped backed to Tottenham for a significantly lower price.
