Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal won the majority of the early titles, with Manchester City making a late charge up the rankings....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
However, the fact that Liverpool had to wait until 2020 to win their first Premier League title tells us that nothing can be taken for granted.
There have also been thrilling charge to success from Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City, reminding everyone just how volatile the Premier League can be in the best conceivable way. In truth, much fewer players than you might anticipate have won the Premier League with two clubs.
5. N’Golo Kante (Leicester City & Chelsea)
Starting his senior club career with Boulogne in 2012, he later moved to Caen the following season, followed by Leicester City until 2016. He currently plays for Chelsea.
The defensive midfielder was such a huge part of Leicester’s league title that Chelsea was convinced to pay £32 million for his services in the summer of 2016, and, wouldn’t you know it, he repeated the trick the following season by leading Chelsea to the title, making himself a back-to-back champion.
4. Kolo Toure (Arsenal & Manchester City)
The Ivorian was a near-constant in Arsenal’s legendary ‘Invincibles’ lineup as the Gunners won the Premier League title in 2003-04. In 2012, he won his second domestic title with fellow indomitable Gael Clichy at Manchester City.
In fact, if Liverpool had picked up a couple more points in the 2013-14 season, Toure could have ended up with three Premier League winners’ medals from three separate clubs.
Following Liverpool’s near-miss two years later, Toure moved to Celtic, where he won the Scottish Premiership, before joining Rodgers’ backroom staff at Leicester City.
3. Ashley Cole (Arsenal & Chelsea)
Ashley Cole came from Arsenal’s development system. Following a successful loan spell at Crystal Palace in 2000, Cole was given his chance at Arsenal due to Sylvinho’s injury.
He took advantage of the opportunity and never looked back. Cole won his first trophy in the 2001-02 season, but it was during Arsenal’s Invincibles campaign in 2003-04 that he won his most valuable crown.
After a lengthy transfer controversy in the summer of 2006, Cole, who is one of the few players to have won the Premier League with two clubs, signed for Chelsea in a deal that also saw William Gallas leave.
With his second career FA Cup, he would go on to win every domestic trophy for the Blues, as well as both European trophies.
2. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City & Manchester City)
The Algerian’s performance in the 2015-16 Premier League season will be remembered as one of the best individual performances in Premier League history. The relatively unknown winger scored 17 goals in 37 appearances this season, winning PFA Player of the Year and ranking eighth in Ballon d’Or nominations.
Mahrez spent two more seasons in the East Midlands before joining Manchester City in 2018. He scored seven goals for Per Guardiola’s side as they won the Premier League again on the final day of the 2018-19 season, justifying his move to the Etihad. He has now won another Premier League title with City. He is unquestionably a Manchester City legend.
1. James Milner (Manchester City & Liverpool)
Milner, a versatile player, has played in a variety of positions, including wing, midfield, and fullback. The Yorkshireman had a stellar career with Leeds United, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United before joining Manchester City, where he won his first Premier League title in 2011-12.
James Milner won four major trophies during his five seasons with Liverpool, including the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup. He will play for Brighton next season.
