Experience is a word often bandied about in football. Particularly on the biggest occasions. Having players who have been there and done it is often a recipe for success. Whether that’s having won the Champions League, the Premier League or the World Cup, having those achievements on your CV is always going to look attractive to interested clubs. With this in mind, here at Transfermarkt, we have delved into the data to take a look at how many major trophies have been won by the players in each current Premier League squad. For the purposes of this, we have counted major trophies as any top-five league title, any top-five league major domestic cup, the Champions League, the Europa League, the World Cup and the European Championships.

Which Premier League squads contain most trophy winners?

Leading the way, according to Transfermarkt data, are Pep Guardiola’s trophy-winning juggernauts Manchester City. Between their first-team squad, they have won as many as 156 trophies, with 21 current players having won a major trophy. The most trophy-glittered of them all is experienced midfielder İlkay Gündoğan, who has won 14 of the trophies in question. In second place is champions-elect Liverpool, with 23 members of their squad major trophy winners, combining for a total of 76 trophies. They are likely to significantly add to that number if/when they can get over the line and win the Premier League this season. Third goes to last season’s FA Cup winners Manchester United with 60 trophies between their squad.

In fourth place are Arsenal with 40 trophies – mainly gathered from their three former Man City players in Raheem Sterling (10 trophies), Gabriel Jesus (9 trophies) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (9 trophies). Fifth place goes to Newcastle with 32 trophies. However, before their recent EFL Cup triumph, that figure would have stood at just eight. In sixth are Aston Villa with 29 trophies from seven stars, with Marco Asensio (10 trophies) a big contributor. Seventh goes to West Ham with 23 trophies from eight players. Chelsea are all the way down in eighth with 23 trophies from 10 stars. Ninth goes to Wolves with 17 trophies, whilst Brighton complete the top 10 with 16 trophies from just three players – Danny Welbeck, James Milner and Pervis Estupiñán. Brentford are at the bottom of the table with just one trophy from Josh Dasilva.
