With there being many Premier League rejects playing for clubs in Europe I thought it would be a good idea to let the readers know how they’re doing.
Edin Dzeko, rejected by Manchester City, now at Roma
Edin Dzeko scored seventy two goals for City in his career after joining from Wolfsburg in 2011. But after a poor 2014/2015 for Dzeko, City sent him on loan and made the move permanent this season. The Bosnian striker is now excelling in the heart of the Roma attack and he’s scored nineteen league goals this season which is enough to make him Serie A’s joint top scorer with top players, Andrea Belotti and Gonzalo Higuain.
Mario Balotelli, rejected by Liverpool, now at Nice
After Balotelli’s high expectations at Liverpool he disappointed and was sent packing to Nice this Summer. This season so far for Balotelli has been wonderful for him, but he has missed a fair few matches from suspensions and injuries.
Angel Di Maria, rejected by Manchester United, now at PSG
Di Maria’s transfer to United was the second biggest buy from a Premier League club, but his performances didn’t live up to his transfer fee after just three goals in United 2014/2015 league campaign. But now at PSG he is one of Ligue 1’s best wingers and most memorably this season he scored twice against Barcelona.
Radamel Falcao, rejected by Manchester United, now at Monaco
After a poor spell at United where he only scored four goals, Chelsea took him up on loan hoping the Falcao who scored two goals in the Europa League final and who was up with Messi and Ronaldo challenging for the golden boot at Atletico Madrid would turn up. Unfortunately Falcao didn’t and he only scored one goal for the Blues. After that loan spell he returned to Monaco this season and the Colombian striker is doing exceptionally well, having scored sixteen goals in Ligue 1. Falcao also returned to haunt Manchester a few weeks ago by scoring twice against City with one goal being an excellent chip right over Caballero.
Bafetimbi Gomis, rejected by Swansea, now on loan at Marseille and expected to move permanently this summer
After scoring six goals in the Premier League for Swansea in 2015/16, Swansea sent Gomis on loan to French club Marseille. Gomis is now doing really well there and has scored sixteen goals in the league this season; the same amount as Falcao. Gomis is currently injured, but he’s expected to return in a few weeks.
