Fabian Delph and Angel di Maria will start next season at new clubs, and Mario Balotelli could also make a move.
What the trio also have in common is that they were among the worst finishers in the Premier League last season, with Manchester City’s new midfielder given the dubious accolade, according to stats compiled by ESPN.
The stats are based on a ratio of shots to goals, and it’s not hard to see why Balotelli could be soon joining Di Maria by moving to another league.
Delph, meanwhile, while impressive for Aston Villa last season, evidently wasn’t signed for his proficiency in front of goal.
