Just ask Felipe Caicedo.The Ecuadorian striker managed a mere seven goals in 35 appearances following a January deadline day move to Manchester City shortly before they were bankrolled in 2008 in a transfer that simply didn't go to plan.Unperturbed by the setback, the flop then embarked on journeyman career which saw him plying his trade in Portugal, Spain, Russia and the United Arab Emirates, before settling in Italy.Caicedo found his feet with Lazio and Genoa in recent years, so much so that now, at the age of 33, has earned himself a surprise move to Serie A table-toppers Inter Milan.While the transfer has certainly raised a few eyebrows on English shores, the striker isn't the only one to prove his Premier League doubters wrong by going on to excel elsewhere.Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at ten other Premier League rejects who recovered from their nightmare stints in England and hit the heights abroad.Which former Premier League flop has gone on to have the greatest career elsewhere?

Tell us in the comments section.Having watched him play a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s tenth Champions League crown, Manchester United officials looked to have secured a major coup when they paid a British record £59.7million for Angel Di Maria's services in August 2014.Despite an electric start, the Argentine winger managed a mere three goals in 27 Premier League appearances before departing for Paris Saint-Germain only a year after his Manchester arrival.Since his nightmare stint at the Theatre of Dreams, Di Maria has gone on to score 91 goals in 292 outings and claim 17 trophies in the French capital in addition to slating United at any given opportunity.An Angel playing for.
