5 transfers from La Liga to Premier League that failed

#3 Roberto Soldado

Soldado

Someone who was dubbed to be one of the best strikers in the world at one point of time at Valencia, Roberto Soldado’s career went downhill after a big money move to Tottenham.

The Spaniard was one of those players who was purchased from the money that the North Londoners acquired from Gareth Bale’s sale, but Soldado hardly impressed. While he always worked hard off the ball, Soldado could not score on a regular basis and could find the back of the net only seven times in a period of two Premier League seasons.

The emergence of Harry Kane saw the final nail in Soldado’s coffin and a move to Villarreal followed.
