#5 Nicolas Anelka

Nicolas Anelka played in a number of clubs in his 18-year-long career. He remains one of the ultimate journeymen of world football as he never really settled at one particular club. To his credit, Anelka was an opportunistic striker and could move quickly inside the opposition penalty area.

He was signed by Arsenal in 1997. He was reasonably successful with scored 28 goals in 90 matches for them. He played under compatriot Arsene Wenger and also won a Premier League title in his inaugural season. He moved to Real Madrid in 1999.

Anelka then played for a number of clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool. He also had a very brief stint at Juventus on loan and appeared in a couple of matches for them in the 2012-13 season.

The prolific striker went on to play for Shanghai Shenhua, West Bromwich Albion and Mumbai City FC, before switching to management.
