Arsenal are one of the most successful sides in the world. Despite not winning the Premier League since 2004, they have consistently found a way to claim the domestic cups at Wembley. Arsene Wenger, one of the greatest managers of all time, built remarkably strong foundations, and now Mikel Arteta is trying to take them back to the same level.
Wenger’s success would not have been possible without several world-class players at the club. The Gunners were the home for some of the best players in the world, who are now considered the greatest footballers of all time. They carried a confidence with them which proved pivotal as the trophies neared.
Due to this, we have decided to rank the nine greatest individual seasons from Arsenal players. Every player who features on this list played after 1990, showcasing how the Gunners have had more recent success compared to decades ago. Naturally, it was not easy, but it stretches from the famous Invincibles team to the struggling years at the end of Wenger’s reign.
