Kepa Arrizabalaga will be the 16th player who represents both Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League – but who is the best of the party?
Arsenal and Chelsea are two of the most bitter rivals in London, but that has not prevented from representing both clubs over the years.
We have taken a look at the last 15 players who played for both clubs in the Premier League era and have arranged them from the worst to the best.
The fact that Manchester City was so willing to load Sterling to Chelsea in 2022 should have had alarm bells – the eternal champions clearly did not consider him or the blues as a threat.
They were well proven. Sterling was not effective, and that is friendly, during two seasons at Stamford Bridge and was even worse on loan in Arsenal in 2024-25.
Once one of the smartest talents in England, the reputation of the attacker has taken since he moved to London.
Perhaps not the worst player on this list, it is impossible to deny that Sterling has known the worst of someone who can be seen here.
The French midfielder spent his early years in London, but never settled completely as more than a team player at Arsenal or Chelsea.
Diarra made a combined 45 performances for both clubs and spent a total of four years in London.
After he impressed Portsmouth, he was picked up in 2009 by Real Madrid and his career started from there.
The Israeli playmaker was a tidy football player, but just like Diarra he was often used as a team player.
He was an unused replacement in the Europa League triumph of Chelsea 2013 against Benfica and he only put one season on loan with Arsenal.
By the time he arrived in Arsenal, Willian looked like he was over the hill, but that would not have to take away from a number of great years at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea came in at the last minute in 2013 to praise the winger of Tottenham, with whom he would originally participate.
Willian had some great moments in a Chelsea shirt, but the less said about his Arsenalstint, the better.
The hot -headed Brazilian was brilliant to watch on his day, but an insufficient that ended in his arsenal career dropped him on the list.
Luiz had two separate spells in Chelsea, where he won a total of six trophies.
He also played a helping hand in Arsenal and won the FA Cup in 2019-20 -20, but he seemed to lose his way in his second season with the club. To be honest with Luiz, he always left everything on the field.
Gallas, a back-to-back Premier League title winner with Chelsea, was well used for the champions of Jose Mourinho.
Gallas able to play as a center half or left back, scored a number of particularly important goals during Chelsea's Triumph 2005-06 Premier League.
The French defender bizarre took the number 10 shirt when he arrived in Arsenal, which was previously held by Dennis Bergkamp. There was rarely a boring moment with him in the area.

We are still scratching our heads about how Jorginho managed to finish third in the Ballon d'Or rangers in 2021, but his contribution to Chelsea should not go unnoticed.
The Italian Maestro was signed by Maurizio Sarri in 2018 and formed the basis of the midfield of Chelsea for the next four seasons.
After the switch to Arsenal in January 2023, Jorginho was a familiar member of the Mikel Arteta team and could be trusted to offer the much needed stability of midfield.
Aubameyang went purely of his first three seasons with Arsenal and was fantastic. He almost wore the club on his own when the rest of the team lags behind in quality.
The score of 92 goals in 163 games is also not to browse. His somewhat controversial exit and stuttering stint at Chelsea, however, drops him a few places.
With a division in both clubs, Havertz is perhaps the most interesting participant on this list.
Signed with big fanfare in 2020, the German was never quite what Chelsea thought they had bought. But he also scored the winner in a Champions League final, so they are swings and roundabouts.
Havertz continued to split the opinion at Arsenal for two years, with some who praises his physicality and goal record while he plays out of position, while others spend the £ 60 million compensation spent on a non-specialist player.
The king of the daring, we could watch a giroud height all day. Of course he had his dips in shape with both Arsenal and Chelsea, but he often responded to the critics with a puskas-worthy goal.
Giroud has scored more than 100 goals for Arsenal and won two European titles with Chelsea, is a popular figure at both clubs.
“I think Thierry Henry was not at the level of Anelka,” Samuel Eto'o Kaal proclaimed in 2022.
Although most Arsenal fans would not agree with that explanation, the talent that Anelka was not to be denied.
He spent his forming years with the Gunners and helped them in 1998 to the Premier League, FA Cup and Charity Shield.
Ten years later he put on Chelsea's blue and also turned out to be a success at Stamford Bridge.
Imperious, because Arsenal won the competition in 1998, Petit formed an unparalleled partnership in midfield with Patrick Vieira and went to English football as a duck.
His time in Chelsea, a failed enchantment in Barcelona, ​​was less headline-worthy, but Petit barely disgraced himself.

Undoubtedly the best keeper of the Premier League era, was Cech at its best in the mid-2000s with Chelsea.
His record of 202 Premier League Clean Sheets will probably also pass the test of time.
By the time Cech ended up in Arsenal, he was no longer at the height of his powers, but he was still a reliable shot stopper.
His switch from Arsenal to Chelsea was perhaps the most controversial of one of these players. Dubbeds 'Cashley Cole' by Gunners fans, it is fair to say that they have not taken the move too well.
Cole only got better during his time at Chelsea when he won nine trophies with the club.
Undoubtedly, the best left back of his generation, he undoubtedly scores as one of the best Premier League defenders.
The Spanish midfielder is one of the few players who is universally loved by both Arsenal and Chelsea fans. As a 16-year-old in the first team of Arsenal, Fabregas broke and enjoyed some of his best days in North London.
After a few trophy-filled years with Barcelona, ​​he returned to England and played a key role in Chelsea's 2014–15 Premier League triumph. With 50 goals and 111 assists from his time at both clubs, Fabregas is a worthy number one.
