Forgotten former Chelsea midfielder Marko Marin finally leaves the club after mustering 143 league minutes in four years
CHELSEA have finally managed to get forgotten man Marko Marin off their books four years after signing him.
The Blues were hoping they signed a hugely talented winger when they finalised a £6.5million deal for the German winger in 2012 but Marin has managed a measly 143 Premier League minutes in just six appearances.

That means he cost the club a staggering £45,454 per minute.
Since his time at Stamford Bridge, he has been loaned out to Sevilla, Fiorentina, Anderlecht and Turkish side Trabzonspor but has now left the club permanently after putting pen-to-paper at Olympiakos.
Speaking to Sport1 about the move, he said: “It’s such a great feeling to sign for a club like Olympiakos.
“It’s also nice to sign on a permanent deal.”
