The ultimate goal for most football clubs is to win trophies. Getting your hands on trophies is what every team aspires to do, especially those in the Premier League. For some teams, even domestic tournaments like the League Cup are very important. That is demonstrated by Newcastle United’s recent celebration of winning the competition.
However, having a team consisting of winners might make all the difference in your success. It can be quite important to have people who have already felt the amazing highs of taking home trophies and surviving the extreme strain of cup finals. The number of trophies each member of every Premier League team has won over their career was just made public by Transfermarkt.

10Brighton & Hove Albion
Trophies won: 16
Over the past 15 years, Brighton & Hove Albion has had a phenomenal ascent. The Seagulls’ outstanding recruitment over the years has been a major factor in their transformation from a League One team to a reputable Premier League team with a potential of playing in Europe. They have a reputation for transforming undiscovered commodities into top-tier talent at a low cost.
However, they do other types of transfer business as well, and in recent years, they have enlisted people like James Milner to support their cause. Over the years, the former Liverpool player has been there and won everything with both Manchester City and the Reds. He contributed to his part of the 16 Brighton players who have won trophies, but he is not the only one. Two other players have also lifted trophies.
9Wolverhampton Wanderers
Trophies won: 17
Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have won 17 titles between them over the years, are right in front of Brighton. Success has been experienced by players like Jose Sa, who won the Primeira Liga with FC Porto. Five players have lifted trophies overall for the team.
The majority of the trophies have gone to Goncalo Guedes. Before relocating to England, the Portuguese player won a Ligue 1 trophy with Paris Saint-Germain and four league titles with Benfica. The Midlands club has had a difficult couple of years, but with the quantity of winners on their roster, they have a good chance of recovering.
8Chelsea
Trophies won: 23
Chelsea has been having trouble on the pitch since Todd Boehly joined the team. Despite spending a lot of money on players like Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez, they haven’t won many trophies as a result. Nevertheless, the team now has a number of winners, and given their youth, they have plenty of time to develop and reclaim their place at the top of English football.
The team has won 23 titles overall, and Palmer, who had exceptional success with Manchester City, is one of 10 players who have contributed to that amount.
7West Ham United
Trophies won: 23
One of the few Premier League teams outside of the Big Six to have won a trophy in the past ten years is West Ham United. During David Moyes’ tenure as manager, they won the Europa Conference League, which increased the team’s trophy haul because several players were still alive when they did so.
Eight different individuals in the team have contributed to their 23 victories overall. The Hammers have done some fantastic business on the transfer market in the past two years under Graham Potter’s leadership, but they don’t seem to be moving any closer to increasing that total.
6Aston Villa
Trophies won: 29
The comeback of Aston Villa under Unai Emery has been amazing. The team is now in the knockout stages of the renowned league after the Spaniard led them from fighting relegation to playing in the Champions League. Although they haven’t yet added any cutlery to their trophy cabinet, it may not be long until they do so given that seven different team members have already won.
Ross Barkley, Marcus Rashford, and Marcus Asensio are all accustomed to winning awards; together, they and four other team members have won a total of 29 titles.
5Newcastle United
Trophies won: 32
Although they previously possessed several trophies, Newcastle United’s recent League Cup success has undoubtedly increased the number of titles the present team has. The team has won 32 titles during the course of their existence, which is divided among 24 players.
It took the Magpies decades to finally obtain some trophies, but now that they have, they have no idea how far they can go. Is this the beginning of a decade filled with trophies? Or will their next taste of grandeur be seventy years away? Time will tell.
4Arsenal
Trophies won: 49
Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team are frequently criticised for their inability to win any hardware despite their several title challenges and stellar performance at the top of the Premier League. Aside from a Community Shield, the team hasn’t won anything noteworthy in five years and is now on a losing streak.
Nevertheless, his team has won 49 trophies throughout the years, and the Spaniard has a squad full of champions. Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus are among the 13 players who have shared that total. However, if they want to take use of the potential they already possess, they must figure out how to win championships at the Emirates Stadium.
3Manchester United
Trophies won: 60
One of the worst seasons in Manchester United’s Premier League history is presently underway. Things haven’t gotten much better under Ruben Amorim after they got off to a bad start under Erik ten Hag, and a big part of the blame for their problems is bad hiring practices and underwhelming talent entering the system.
Despite this, the team has a number of titles from the current roster of talented players who play at Old Trafford. They have won 60 pieces of trophies between them, and the FA Cup victory from last summer accounts for a large amount of that total. However, players like Casemiro and Mason Mount have also experienced a great deal of success outside of the team.
2Liverpool
Trophies won: 76
Liverpool was a struggling team outside the top six before Jurgen Klopp took over, but now they are among the best in the world. During his time as manager, they won almost everything that could be won, and many members of the team he assembled are still at Anfield today. The present Liverpool squad can thus claim 76 trophies in all, including Premier League championships and a Champions League trophy.
However, given how strong Arne Slot’s first season as manager has been, they appear extremely certain to win the English top division title once more, and the team’s overall trophy total will increase dramatically.
1Manchester City
Trophies won: 156
Nobody was surprised to learn that Manchester City’s team has more trophies overall than any other team in England. Pep Guardiola created a force that dominated English football for a number of years, and during that time, they added numerous trophies to their cabinet, including a historic triple in 2022–2023.
They have won 156 pieces of trophy as a team, but the FA Cup is their sole opportunity to increase that total this time. However, they will lose Kevin De Bruyne, one of their biggest winners, even if they do win the trophy this season. Despite winning everything with City, the Belgian will depart the team in the summer.
