Alex Nyarko named the Worst Midfielder in the History of the Premier League

Alex costed Everton a whopping £4.5m in 2000, but was a complete flop for four years, spending most of his time on loan back in France.

The former Ghanaian international is now a cult figure as one of the Toffees’ worst ever players due to one hilarious incident.
