#3 Javier Hernandez — West Ham United

Once played for Real Madrid, currently doesn't even start for West Ham

His performances for Manchester United earned him the recognition from every single top football team, and that included Real Madrid, for whom the Mexican played on a loan spell. With 23 appearances and 7 goals, his record was considered as being 'decent', but due to the available options on the bench, Madrid was in no mood to make his loan deal permanent. This move was one of the reasons why his reputation collapsed.

Chicharito later joined the German side Bayer Leverkusen before returning to Premier League in 2017 with West Ham United. Despite his credentials, including two Premier League titles, his time with the Hammers has been a train-wreck. Due to the limited number of appearances this very season, the 30-year-old has not been able to capitalize in any manner, as he his yet to score. Injuries too have played a very important role in the plummeting of this world-class talent.
