Premier League side Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in England and considered a part of the top six teams in England. The club's successes under their legendary manager Arsene Wenger were nothing short of phenomenal. During his time at the helm, Arsenal lifted three league titles.
In recent times, however, Arsenal have struggled. The club have gone from being a major force at the top of the league to not even ending up in the European spots. Some of the reasons behind this downturn have been a limited investment in the squad and a lack of elite players in their ranks.
Under current manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are determined to turn it around. They have tried to improve their squad massively and focus on a progressive football philosophy. Their improved transfer strategy has also helped them recruit better players who can deliver for the club.
On that note, let's take a look at
5 current Arsenal players who have won the most career trophies (October 2021)
#6 Ainsley Maitland-Niles - 6 trophies
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is a graduate of Arsenal's distinguished academy. The player's versatility means he can be deployed both in midfield and left/right fullback positions.

Lacazette, in over 177 professional appearances for Arsenal, has scored 68 goals and managed 29 assists.
He has lifted over six trophies with Arsenal, Olympique Lyon and the France under 19s. He is a double winner of the French Super Cup in 2011-12 and 2012-13. At Arsenal he has so far lifted the English F.A. Cup and the Community Shield.

Elneny is not a regular first-team player for Arsenal. However, his bit-part performances over the years under managers such as Unai Emery and now Mikel Arteta have proven important for the club.
The twenty-nine-year-old's previous spell at Swiss club FC Basel was a majorly successful one. He went on to lift four league titles with them.

During last summer he came close to leaving the London outfit. However, he ultimately changed his decision and signed a new contract to stay at the club till 2024.
Xhaka has won a total of eight trophies in his career. He has lifted four trophies at Arsenal, including two English F.A. Cups in 2017 and 2020. Xhaka's other achievements are from his time at FC Basel and the under-17 Swiss national team.
