3. James Milner (Manchester City & Liverpool)
The most recent member of this exclusive club, Milner’s Premier League title win with Liverpool comes 6 years on from the second of his two successes at Manchester City.
Trending
The Yorkshireman has enjoyed a hugely distinguished career with spells at Leeds United, Aston Villa and Newcastle United preceding his move to Manchester City. Milner’s first Premier League title came in 2011-12, and he repeated the feat in 2013-14 before moving to Liverpool in 2015.
A hugely versatile player, Milner has proved to be Mr Reliable for every coach he has ever played for. His adaptability was on full display at City, where he was played across midfield, as a full-back, and even as an emergency striker in the course of their two title wins.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also relies on Milner’s experience and versatility, and used him as a stand-in left-back at times in the 2019-20 season. The Englishman featured in 21 Premier League matches en route to winning the title, even captaining the side on three occasions and showing no signs of slowing down even at the age of 34.
2. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City & Manchester City)
Before James Milner made the cut this season, Riyad Mahrez was the most recent member of this exclusive club, having played a starring role in Leicester City’s fairytale Premier League title win in 2015-16 before lifting the trophy again with Manchester City in 2019.
The Algerian’s performance in the 2015-16 season will go down in history as one of the best individual performances in Premier League history. The previously unheralded winger scored 17 goals in 37 appearances over the course of the season, winning the PFA Player of the Year award and finishing seventh in the Ballon d’Or nominations.
Two more seasons in the East Midlands followed before Mahrez sealed a move to Manchester City in 2018. He chipped in with 7 goals for Per Guardiola’s men as they sealed yet another Premier League title on the final day of the 2018-19 season, justifying his switch to the Etihad.
The Algerian remains one of several sparkling weapons in Guardiola’s artillery as the Cityzens look to repeat their title-winning heroics once again.
1. N’Golo Kante (Leicester City & Chelsea)
Several players have played out their entire careers without getting their hands on the Premier League title, but N’Golo Kante had been in England three years before he finally finished a season without lifting the coveted trophy.
Kante joined the Foxes as a virtual unknown in 2015 from Ligue 1 outfit Caen and enjoyed a dream start to life in England. He was instrumental in Leicester’s title run in the 2015-16 season, prompting Chelsea to pay £32m for his services in 2016.
The French international proved to be an inspired signing as he helped Chelsea to the title in the 2016-17 season and cementing his reputation as one of the best defensive midfielders in world football.
Although the 2017-18 season was the first in England that Kante did not finish as a Premier League champion, he added the FA Cup to his growing trophy cabinet before achieving World Cup glory with France in 2018.
Although injury problems have hampered the lovable Frenchman in recent years, he and his Chelsea side will be looking forward to more titles in the upcoming seasons.
