Chelsea has to be the club with the most terrible transfers in the premier league, the this is their third player on the list. Chelsea got bakayoko from Monaco in the 2017/2018 summer window for a fee worth £40M and the following season he was sent on loan to Ac Millan after a very disappointing first season at the Bridge. Bakayoko came and he was so bad that not even Kante could help him look moderate on the pitch.

Willian arrived at Arsenal after his contract with Chelsea expired. He arrived at Arsenal with the mindset of bringing Arsenal back to its glory days, unfortunately, it didn’t work out well, as the Brazillian couldn’t even make Mikel Arteta starting eleven due to bad form.
Fast forward to the next summer transfer window Willian terminated his contract with Arsenal and now he is currently in his hometown league.
