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

#3 Robinho

Manchester City v Sunderland - Premier League
The Brazilian's lifestyle hampered his form at the Etihad

Robinho was bought on 1 September 2008 by Manchester City, the same day the club was bought by the wealthy current Arab owners.

Initially keen on a move to Chelsea, the Brazilian forward was signed from Real Madrid for a massive figure. He justified that price-tag with a scintillating first season, when he scored 14 goals in 31 appearances, which included a few majestic free-kicks.

The second season though was not as auspicious, as indiscipline, bad attitude and injuries caught up with him and saw him fade into obscurity and ultimately out of the City squad within a year.

In January 2018, Robinho signed for the Turkish Super Lig club Sivasspor.
