Twelve Magnificent Strikers who never graced the English Premier League history – Part 1
English Premier League has seen a myriad number of breathtakingly talented football players who brought glory to the EPL’s clubs by their absolutely scintillating performances and achievements. Nevertheless, there exist some players who never got the chance
to honour any of the English Premier Clubs.
So here is a list of twelve marvellous strikers. The players who have terrorized clubs all over Europe and the rest of the planet, but have never earned the chance to unleash their skills in the English clubs. Albeit most of these megastars have conquered
British clubs on grounds such as The Champions League or Europa League, they still haven’t had the experience of the English league at its full swing.
Gabriel Batistuta
The Argentinean professional footballer, nicknamed as Batigol has majorly played for Fiorentina in Italy. His other professional football clubs include http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. Batistuta happens to be the ninth highest scorer of all time in the Italian Serie
A league. The retired striker has netted 184 goals in 318 appearances he made for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/The-Strongest-c40725 ever league, Serie A.
His playing style would have gone well with the English Premier League though.
Gabriel Batistuta is a forty-two-year-old Argentinean, who started his football career with the Newell’s Old Boy’s youth academy in 1987, and after spending a year in their training grounds he made it into their first team squad.
Then after making just sixteen appearances and scoring nine goals he made his first move to River plate where he graced the club with his performances just seven times and scored five goals.
A year after that he moved to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 first team squad and made twenty-nine appearances with scoring twenty-three goals.
In 1991 the Argentinean international moved to Fiorentina and spent the next nine years there. This was the peak of his football career. He made two hundred and sixty-nine appearances for the club and scored a hundred and sixty-eight times.
Then at the start of the new millennium he moved to Roma for three years and blessed the club with his appearances sixty times and netted thirty goals in the process.
He made a short loan spell at Internazionale with making just twelve appearances in 2003 before moving again in 2003, but this time moved to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 side club Al-Arabi.
In Al-Arabi the player astoundingly scored twenty-nine goals from just twenty-one appearances before announcing his official retirement from football in 2005.
