7. Christian Ziege – Middlesbrough (1999-2000) Liverpool (2000-01) Tottenham Hotspur (2001-04)
Though he only won one League Cup during his time in England, his arrival during the late ’90s to Middlesbrough from Milan proved that the division was still on the up. A successful first season on Teesside was enough to prompt Liverpool to splash out on him and bring him to Anfield, but a limited contribution thanks to injuries meant that he was moved onto Spurs just a season later.
He stayed for three years at Spurs, but increasing injury problems meant that he was soon shipped back to Germany.
