Always classy and often deadly in front of goal, Fulham pulled off one of the signings of last summer when the Bulgarian striker joined from Manchester United. Berbatov enjoyed a successful first season at the club, scoring 15 times in the Premier League. The 32-year-old was the Premier League's joint top scorer in the 2010/11 season and scored twice when Fulham drew 3-3 at Emirates Stadium last season.
