5) Nikica Jelavic (Everton, Hull and West Ham) – 114 apps
After two excellent seasons with Rangers, Everton snapped up the Croatian striker for £5m in the 2012 January transfer window. He made a strong first impression, scoring nine goals in his first 13 league games in the second half of the 2012/13 season.
However, the goals didn’t flow so smoothly during his second and third campaigns, and he moved to Hull in 2014. After two years with the Tigers and another six months with West Ham, he made the switch to China before retiring from professional football earlier this month.
