10 of the best Spanish players in the Premier League

#3 Fernando Torres

There wasn't much you would put past these two

El Nino's career resembles two halves of any run-of-the-mill gangster epic. The rise that saw him shimmying past defenders and bamboozling goalkeepers at Liverpool and then the fall where he bade his time in Chelsea being just another striker although not without some sporadic moments of brilliance.

When he was at the peak of his powers, there was no stopping Fernando Torres. He had the pace and the craft to bully Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Matic at Old Trafford. And that's not even a hyperbole.

He scored 81 goals in 142 appearances for the Merseysiders. But for Chelsea, he scored an underwhelming 45 goals in 172 appearances. Torres' return to Spain saw him return to form but his departure from Premier League made not many miss him much.
