Current and former Premier League strikers who flopped after stunning debut season, including Liverpool and Manchester City record-signings

Posted by

Grant Holt – Norwich City

The former Canaries forward had a fine debut campaign in the Premier League, as his 15 league goals helped the club to avoid relegation. Such was his form, that a number of clubs were chasing his signature. It’s unlikely, however, that the 34-year-old will be seen again in England’s top flight.

Roque Santa Cruz – Blackburn Rovers

The Paraguayan striker took no time at all to settle into the Premier League – and finished his debut season in England’s top flight with 19 goals. However, his form didn’t last beyond the season.

DJ Campbell – Blackpool

Despite suffering relegation, the Seasiders put up an inspired fight to avoid the drop, with DJ Campbell notching up 13 goals. To sum up his incredible fall from grace, however, he’s now playing for Conference South side Maidenhead United.
