4. Fernando Torres – 72 games
Although he is yet to find his feet at Chelsea, Fernando Torres had a phenomenal start to his Premier League career, with Liverpool. Ever since signing from Atletico Madrid in 2007, Torres set the stage on fire, with his goals. In his debut season, Torres finished joint second in the race for the Golden Boot. His 24 goals broke van Nistelrooy’s record of most goals scored by a foreigner in a debut season.
And within two and half years of his time at Liverpool, Torres had scored 50 goals and was on his way towards becoming one of the finest marksmen the League has ever seen. And that is precisely why Chelsea broke the British transfer record to sign the Spaniard. An investment the Spaniard is yet to pay back.
