Ben Brereton, the Chilean striker who returned to the Premier League with Southampton in the summer transfer market, has failed at his new club. Since his arrival, the attacker has struggled to stand out and has been part of a season in which the team has performed well below expectations. In October, he failed to contribute even one minute in the league, which showed his lack of exposure. His poor performance has not gone unnoticed, and Brereton has been on the list of the most disappointing players in the Premier League 2024-2025.
English portal Fansided placed him fifth in its ranking of the disappointments of the season, reviewing his time in the Premier League so far. In their analysis, the media highlighted the striker’s poor start with his new team, comparing his situation to his time at Sheffield United last season, where he gathered 14 games without a win. The negative streak continued in Southampton, because of the few games the team won, Ben was only present from the substitute bench, without changing the dynamic.
Performance below expectations
To date, Brereton has played a total of 9 games for Southampton, 7 of which were in the Premier League and 2 in the League Cup. However, in those games he failed to score a goal, which has created frustration among the fans and the coaching staff.
Southampton’s only win in the league, 1-0 against Everton, came while the Chilean striker was on the bench, which makes the situation worse for the striker, who was hoping to recover his winless streak.
A list of the most disappointing
Brereton wasn’t the only big name player to make this list. Despite his situation, he was considered the “least disappointing” of the players included in the ranking. He overtook players such as Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Rodrigo Muñiz (Fulham) and Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United), although the number one position went to Lucas Paquetá, West Ham’s Brazilian midfielder, who also performed below expectations.
- Disappointing return: Brereton has had a difficult start in the Premier League with Southampton, failing to stand out in his first few games.
- No goals so far: In 9 games played (7 in the Premier League and 2 in the League Cup), he has not scored a single goal.
- Winless streak: The Chilean striker remains winless for Southampton, a team that has won just one game in the league.
- Inclusion in disappointing rating: He was placed fifth in Fansided’s rating of the most disappointing players in the Premier League.
