An enigmatic winger, Kanchelskis' pace terrified defenses in the English Premiership for five seasons. However, off-the-field problems detracted form his footballing brilliance, with bust-ups reported at all of his clubs. The Russian international finds the net with great regularity, having a scoring ratio of a goal every three games during his time in England. After winning every
honor in the English game, Kanchelskis moved to Italian giants Fiorentina for £8 million, where he hoped to replicate his electrifying form in arguably the toughest league in the world. However, a mixture of injury and loss of form resulted in it being a very unhappy time for him, and in July 1998 he moved to Rangers for £5.5 million.
Kanchelskis is currently out of favor at Ibrox after refusing to play in a
reserve game is currently on loan to Man City and a move at the end of the
season looks likely
