Signed amidst much fanfare after being pushed out of Juventus by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain was meant to be the catalyst that propelled AC Milan forward this season. Instead, he has looked a shadow of his clinical self and the deal could be terminated in January so as he can push ahead with a move to England and be reunited with his former coach at Napoli, Maurizio Sarri.

Whether the Argentine’s poor form was down to himself or the lack of quality around him is up for debate, but Milan sure are irked that their hefty outlay has not been rewarded. He returned to Juventus, who loaned him again to Chelsea. However, the Premier League side opted not to sign him outright and now he is back at Juventus.

Perpetually in the midst of controversy, Radja Nainggolan hasn’t failed to live up to his chaotic reputation since his move to Inter.

Late nights, crashed cars, arguments with supporters, the list goes on. Yet, his career has always been like this, but so long as he performed on the pitch, it mattered little. However, since his arrival from Rome in the summer all has not gone to plan. His spell has been blighted by injury and, when fit, not the most convincing of performances.

Recently it was announced that  he has returned at Cagliari on a season long loan.
