The ex-Gunners to have won trophies since Arsenal last did in 2005 with Ashley Cole’s Chelsea success

Jose Antonio Reyes – left in 2007

Clubs: Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Sevilla.

Trophies: Europa League, 2010, 2012. UEFA Super Cup, 2010, Taca da Liga, 2009.

Didn’t really enjoy his time at Highbury after becoming the club’s most expensive player of all time, but did extremely well upon leaving and was part of Atletico’s rise to prominence.

Anthony Stokes – left in 2007

Clubs: Sunderland, Hibernian, Celtic.

Trophies: SPL, 2012, 2013, 2014, Scottish Cup, 2011, 2013.

Critics may say that playing for Celtic guarantees success, especially since Rangers’ relegation, but Stokes has been a big part of their trophy triumphs.
