Premier League’s most decorated players: Thiago Alcantara sits top of a list dominated by Man City with departing Chelsea legend in second

The Premier League has long been home to some of the biggest stars in world football with many players having experienced huge success with both club and country.

While many footballers dream of winning just one trophy, others have a whole collection of winners medals at home.

But which Premier League player has the most? Here, Mail Sport runs you through the most decorated stars currently competing in the top flight.

Premier League’s most decorated players: Thiago Alcantara sits top of a list dominated by Man City with departing Chelsea legend in second

A large number of the Premier League’s most decorated players play for Man City

10. Kyle Walker -16

The rapid full-back is the first in a long line of Man City players on this list.

The 33-year-old had never won a major trophy when he joined City from Tottenham back in 2017 but he has certainly made up for lost time.

Walker has helped the Citizens win five of the last six Premier league trophies, establishing himself as one of the best right-backs in the world in the process.

The long-awaited Champions League triumph last season is the jewel in the crown of his 16-trophy collection.

9. Phil Foden – 17

Another Man City star comes in at ninth and it’s some feat considering he is just 23 years of age. 

While he may not have been as influential in winning some of those trophies as he has been in recent years the Englishman still did enough to claim a medal.

Now in the midst of a campaign that has seen him realise his full potential, Foden could be on track to become one of the most decorated players of all time should he carry on like this.

8. Bernardo Silva – 21

Unlike Foden and Walker, Silva has also lifted silverware away from Etihad.

The Portuguese has played as big a role as any in City’s success in recent years while he has also been a champion in both his native league and in France.

Silva was also a member of the Portugal team that won the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

8 = Mateo Kovacic – 21

The midfielder may have only joined City in the summer but he has already added two medals to his collection, winning both the Club World Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.

He is no stranger to success having won numerous titles with both Chelsea and Real Madrid over the years.

Kovacic already has won the Champions League four times and will be hoping to make it five while he’s at City.

6 = Kevin De Bruyne – 22

The midfield magician is the longest serving City player on this list but it is his exploits before joining them that separate him from those mentioned above.

De Bruyne has just one more trophy with City an Foden, Silva and Walker but claimed five other medals during his time with Wolfsburg in Germany and Genk in Belgium.

His tally of 22 trophies is impressive and he’s doing everything he can to make sure it gets added to in the final weeks of this season.

6 = Ederson – 22

Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Ederson has changed the way the position has is viewed in world football.

He was one of Guardiola’s first major moves and has been central to the trophy-laden years that have followed.

The 30-year-old also helped Benfica win four trophies in two seasons before joining City. 

4. Raphael Varane – 22

It’s fair to say that Varane’s time at Old Trafford hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

The Frenchman arrived as one of the most respected defenders in world football but has struggled with injuries and inconsistency.

Varane will having be hoping to win more than the one League Cup he has managed with the Red Devils.

However, he remains one of the most decorated footballers in the league after his success with Real Madrid and the French national team.

Varane helped Madrid win 18 pieces of silverware during his decade at the Bernabeu and was a member of France’s World Cup winning team in 2018.

3. Casemiro – 23 

Another player who sits high on this list due to his exploits with Real Madrid.

The midfielder has also had a tough time of it in Manchester but was the anchor in midfield for a Madrid team that won five Champions leagues in eight years.

2. Thiago Silva – 33

In second is a man who has somewhat incredibly won 10 more trophies than the man behind him.

Thiago Silva has announced he will be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season and he will be doing so after further cementing his position as a legend of the game.

Some eyebrows were raised when the Blues signed the centre-back at the age of 35 but he went on to show that age was just a number. 

Silva was a mountain at the back as Chelsea won their second Champions League in 2021.

The defender won a boat load of trophies with Paris Saint-Germain but there is no doubt that one was the sweetest of his career.

He may not be the name that first comes to mind but Thiago sits top of this list after spending his career with three of the biggest clubs in the world.

The technically gifted midfielder won plenty of trophies with Barcelona before going on to do the same with Bayern Munich.

He’s managed to add just one with Liverpool, the FA Cup in 2022, but his resume still speaks for itself.
