\nThe upcoming season will be the 25th edition of the Premier League and we\u2019re taking a look back over the last quarter of a century at some of the highlights and lowlights of the best league in the world.<\/p>\n

Here we take a look at the 25 worst signings in Premier League history. Many players have (dis)graced the league over the years, and it was tough to narrow them all down. But much like the X Factor auditions; we\u2019ve whittled it down to some of the least talented that we\u2019ve had the misery of seeing.<\/p>\n

Winston Bogarde<\/h3>\n

Barcelona -> Chelsea, 2000<\/h4>\n

The Dutch defender had an impressive list of clubs on his CV, but he was deemed surplus to requirements within weeks of arriving at Stamford Bridge. The club desperately tried to force him out, but he saw out his extortionate \u00a340,000-a-week contract and played just nine games in four years in West London.<\/p>\n

Andriy Shevchenko<\/h3>\n

AC Milan -> Chelsea, 2006<\/h4>\n

Shevchenko\u2019s arrival at Chelsea was highly anticipated, but he\u2019ll go down as one of the worst signings ever by a Premier League team. Roman Abramovich signed him, but Jose Mourinho didn\u2019t want him and he was eventually loaned back to AC Milan, where he was never able to recover his form. Fernando Torres and Mateja Kezman also deserve mentions for establishing Stamford Bridge as a graveyard for prolific goal scorers.<\/p>\n
