Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern are about to fall off of their bar stools after hearing about the results of a recent UEFA poll which asked football fans, who was the best signing of the recent January transfer window across Europe?
The reason for their reaction is Fernando Torres, who has officially been crowned the best incoming this winter.
Remember him? The former Blues star who couldn’t hit a barn door? The guy who cost Roman Abramovich £50 million from Liverpool? Yep, that’s the one.
Well after failing to impress on loan at AC Milan earlier this term after finally being shipped out by the Blues, the Spanish forward has since returned to his first club Atletico Madrid and managed to net two goals against cross-town rivals Real Madrid in one game while also registering against Barcelona to boot.
Pretty amazing stuff considering he has been the subject of ridicule for the last few seasons.
Voted the best January signing, El Nino beat new Manchester City signing Wilfried Bony amongst others for the honour and after seeing his most recent performances, we never thought it would be said but we can understand why.
