Premier League strugglers Burnley brought in the lanky striker from Stoke for the 2018-19 season in a player exchange deal, with Sam Vokes going the other way. An ever-present aerial threat, Crouch came on as a substitute for Burnley against Southampton last week, winning a penalty in the 94th minute, as Burnley equalized deep into stoppage time.

Left-Striker: Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto FC to Al-Hilal - Undisclosed)

Though Sebastian Giovinco had been restricted to only 93 appearances in 9 seasons for the Bianconeri, few expected him to shut up shop and pledge his future to the MLS with Toronto FC just as he was reaching the peak of his powers.

After harassing defenders in North America, the diminutive Italian made another strange move, this time to Al-Hilal in the Saudi league. Still only 32, fans would hope to see him run rings around European defences in the near future.
