Top 10 one-season wonders in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - Premier League
Harry Kane was initially touted as a one-season wonder as well

#4 Roque Santa Cruz

Blackburn Rovers v Middlesbrough - Premier League
A club career to forget as a player

Santa Cruz was signed in the summer of 2007 by Blackburn Rovers from Bayern Munich to add some firepower to their forward line. However, he had a pretty underwhelming career throughout, with the exception of his first season in the Premier League.

The Paraguayan striker had the season of his life, as his 19 league goals in the campaign pushed Blackburn Rovers to an incredible 7th place finish.

The following seasons were largely forgettable for Santa Cruz as he could only add 7 goals across 3 campaigns, and he ultimately left the Premier League for La Liga. He is currently playing for Olympia Asuncion in the Paraguayan Primera division.
