4) Didier Drogba (Marseille to Chelsea – £24m)

Drogba

A formidable target man and with pace to burn, the Ivorian striker was a menace for any opposing defence. He won the Premier League Golden Boot award twice during his time at Chelsea.

On top of that, he will go down in history as the man who scored the winning penalty for the Blues in the 2012 Champions League final.
