As the richest and most famous division in world football, the Premier League has never struggled to attract the most talented footballers on the planet.

Maestros like Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Eden Hazard have all arrived in the Premier League since its inception in 1992, leaving behind lasting legacies, adoring fan clubs and a host of memorable moments.

However, there have been more than a few mistakes over the years. The Premier League hasn't always boasted the best in class, with many ending up shockingly out of their depth when trying to break into the English top flight.

90 min ranks the unlucky ten worst players Premier League history - nothing personal guys.

Sean Dundee had scored 61 goals in the Bundesliga before his arrival Liverpoola record that filled the club's supporters with hope that he could deliver at least a fraction of that number on Merseyside.

The South African-born striker was only recruited as a back-up option, but his impressive performances with Karlsruher failed to translate into the Premier League.

Dundee made a scant three goalless appearances in the league for the Reds before returning to Germany in the summer for a £1m signing. Considering Liverpool bought him for £2m, it wasn't great.

Jozy Altidore's first appearance in the Premier League was extremely disappointing. A season-long loan at Hull City resulted in just a solitary goal in 28 outings as they led the way as the Tigers were relegated to the Championship. Unsurprisingly, they passed up the chance to sign the American permanently.

Altidore's spell of terror with Hull seemed to be forgotten a few years later when Sunderland pounced on the hulking striker after resuming his career in Holland with AZ Alkmaar.

However, the Premier League once again proved too far for Altidore, with one goal in 42 appearances between 2013 and 2015. Two strikes in a collective 70 outings is unfortunately as bad as it gets for the centre-forward.

Speaking of failed and uninspiring Premier League strikers, enter Boško Balaban. The Croatian started his career slowly in his homeland, but two fruitful seasons with Rijeka and then Dinamo Zagreb were caught Aston Villa's eye.

It's fair to say that Villa were quickly dazzled by the profligate centre-forward, who scored a huge haul of zero goals in eight appearances for the Midlands club.

The £5.8m signing eventually left on a free transfer to Club Brugge and has since blamed Villa for not giving him a proper chance to find form.

Portuguese side Vitoria de Guimaraes made quick money on Bebe. Signing him on a free transfer, they saw him depart just over a month later without having played a competitive game for the club. Manchester United spent the £7.8 million needed to bring the striker into the game.

Portugal was a popular hunting ground for Manchester United in previous years, but Bebe failed to reach the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani. He made just two Premier League appearances for the Red Devils before being sent on multiple loan spells abroad.

Four years after he arrived, Bebe was eventually booted out of Old Trafford after barely pulling on a red shirt, with Benfica putting the winger out of his misery.

Man Utd have been known for their impressive success rate in the transfer market under Alex Ferguson, but they made quite a shock signing on Scottish watch. This can be expected in almost three decades.

Eric Djemba-Djemba - who, unlike Jay-Jay Okoch, was not so good that he was named twice - arrived at Old Trafford in 2003 after a successful spell at Nantes. The Cameroonian midfielder quickly became known for his overly physical approach but failed to match that with the ability required to thrive in Manchester.

20 Premier League appearances later and Djemba-Djemba was given a second chance at Aston Villa, but his time at Villa Park was arguably even worse as he was sold just two years after his arrival.

Christian Poulsen represents Liverpool's darkest days in the Premier League era. Roy Hodgson's tumultuous and short time with the Reds was littered with poor signings, but even Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic and Danny Wilson fared better than the Dane.

The midfielder, who quickly established himself as an uninspiring and technically questionable option in the engine room, would make just 12 Premier League appearances for the Reds before being sold to Evian the following summer.

That was £4.5m for Liverpool, who could not get the best out of the 92-cap Denmark international. He did little to help himself on Merseyside.

Being nicknamed 'The Blind Venetian' as a goalkeeper is not particularly encouraging. That's the fate that befell Italian stopper Massimo Taibi during his erratic and hopeless spell with Man Utd in the Premier League.

Signed to replace the injured Marko Bosnich in 1999, Taibi did little to convince Man Utd fans of his quality, making just four appearances for the Red Devils and making a few mistakes. Most famously, he allowed the tame Matt Le Tissier to go through his legs during the 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Unsurprisingly, Taibi was sent out on loan just six months after his £4.5m arrival. He would never play for Man Utd again.

Milton Nunez to Sunderland is perhaps one of the strangest transfers in Premier League history. Signed by then Black Cats boss Peter Reid, the Honduran striker claimed that Sunderland had actually intended to sign his compatriot and fellow PAOK striker Adolfo Valencia but accidentally bought him by mistake.

That theory is somewhat supported by the fact that Nunez made only one appearance in the Premier League for Sunderland, which lasted barely 15 minutes. £1.6 million well spent, isn't it?

There can't be many more disastrous signings than this, with Nunez having spent most of his career in Honduras.

Savio Nsereko didn't pull up many trees before his arrival at West Ham United. He scored just three senior goals for Brescia in 25 appearances, but that was apparently enough for the Irons to spend an estimated £9m on the Ugandan-born striker.

However, the youngster's promising form in Italy was not replicated in London and Savio lasted just six months at West Ham before being sent to Fiorentina on a permanent deal.

Ten Premier League appearances have resulted in no goals, and some have been perplexed West Ham fans, who struggled to see the potential the club's recruitment staff clearly witnessed.

Probably the The most famous transfer in Premier League history, there can be no doubt that Ali Dia is the worst the division has seen.

Signed by Southampton in 1996, the Senegal forward was recruited by Saints following a hoax phone call received by then manager Graeme Souness. Believing he was talking to former Ballon d'Or winner George Weah - surprise, surprise, he wasn't - who claimed to be Dia's cousin, the Scot was convinced to take a chance on the striker.

Having played for amateur club Blyth Spartans at the time, Dia was given a one-month trial and turned out for his only Premier League appearance in a 2–0 win over Leeds United before being released two weeks later.

Pretty embarrassing for all concerned.
