In a Premier League season to remember, there are a number players who will desperately want to forget the campaign.

While Leicester shocked the world with their incomparable achievements, many have forgotten the hundreds of millions of pounds spent on 'world class talent' that surprised in equal measure with their disastrous performances in the most competitive league in football.

To earn a nomination as one of the FIVE worst transfers of the season is a formidable task, considering how many clubs underachieved in 2015/16. And yet somehow, these stars, once considered amongst the European elite, have managed to stand out in all the wrong ways.

Here are the FIVE players we think should be considered the biggest transfer flops of the season.

Memphis Depay

For a player who Cristiano Ronaldo heralded as “one of the best young players in the world”, it has been a calamitous season for Memphis Depay at Manchester United

After a promising start to his Old Trafford career, the Dutchman limped through the season, producing some truly awful displays, looking bizarrely overwhelmed by the English game.

While Jose Mourinho may be the perfect manager to instil some confidence into the 22-year-old, it is a concern that Louis van Gaal could not get the best out of Depay, who performed so well under his tutelage in the 2014 World Cup.

Radamel Falcao

Five years ago, Radamel Falcao was one of the most feared football players on earth, with a goalscoring record at Porto and Atletico Madrid to rival any player in his position.

Now, the Colombian has jetted back to Monaco after arguably the worst season of his career at Chelsea. With just 12 appearances and a solitary goal, the South American was the forgotten man at Stamford Bridge - the arrival of Alexandre Pato in January seemed to confirm him surplus to requirements.

I wouldn’t bet on the 30-year-old stepping foot on English soil for a while yet, at least until his red face has cleared.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

While Bastian Schweinsteiger has been unlucky with injuries in his debut season at Old Trafford, the German has still yet to show any sign of his World Cup winning form in the famous red shirt.

You have to wonder whether Pep Guardiola was aware of the midfielder’s declining abilities. After all, a manager as astute as the Spaniard would not let a player of Schweinsteiger’s calibre go for relative pocket change, if he felt that the 31-year-old could still contribute to Bayern Munich.

Raheem Sterling

A real disappointment for Manchester City and England fans alike, Raheem Sterling’s astronomically expensive move to the Etihad from Liverpool proved to be a total disaster.

The 21-year-old started the campaign relatively brightly but soon lost his place in the City starting line-up. For a man who cost nearly £50m, his performances have simply not been good enough.

To compound the agony for the young star, it seems unlikely that he will be a starter for England during the upcoming European Championship.

Next season, it falls to Pep Guardiola to rejuvenate a player who many consider to be one of the most naturally gifted young players in the world.

Christian Benteke

One of the most desired players in the 2015 summer transfer window, Liverpool eventually acquired Christian Benteke, paying £32.5m for the Belgian.

However, the 25-year-old's performances have fallen far short of his value, especially since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, who often preferred to use Benteke’s compatriot, Divock Origi.

Speculation is now rife that Liverpool will dispose of Benteke after just one season. While there will be plenty of suitors for his signature, the former Aston Villa man will need to drastically improve if he is to regain his early career form.
