17. Innocent Emeghara – San Jose Earthquakes – $1.3 million
Signed in the winter of 2015 from Azerbaijani club Quarabag Agdam, Innocent was brought in by San Jose to support club legend and captain Chris Wondowlowski in an attempt to strengthen their attacking force for the 2015 MLS season. However, 9 games into the season, Emeghara suffered a meniscus tear that would keep him out of action for the rest of the season. This season, the Swiss international has been mostly limited to substitute appearances as he attempts to find his feet in the MLS. So far the signing of Emeghara has not paid off for the Earthquakes and unless his form improves, it will likely stay that way.
