⭐ 5 Biggest Premier League One-Season Wonders

⭐ Michu (Swansea, 2012-13)

Signed for £2M. Scored 18 PL goals. Played like a £30M striker for exactly one season. Then injuries hit. Retired at 31. The most iconic one-season wonder in PL history.

⭐ Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn, 2007-08)

16 goals for Blackburn. Man City bought him for £17.5M. Scored 4 goals the next season. Disappeared. The transfer that taught City about due diligence.

⭐ Amr Zaki (Wigan, 2008-09)

Egyptian striker scored 10 goals in his first 13 PL games. Then went back to Egypt for Christmas and didn't come back on time. Never reached those heights again. Cultural clash meets clinical finishing.

⭐ Michael Ricketts (Bolton, 2001-02)

12 goals by January. Got called up to England. Scored 0 goals in his remaining 15 games. England cap to League One in 3 years. The curse of the England call-up.

⭐ Papiss Cissé (Newcastle, 2011-12)

13 goals in 14 games. That volley against Chelsea. Then the goals dried up. Scored 27 in his remaining 3.5 seasons combined. Those 14 games were pure magic though.
