12 players to win a major trophy after leaving Spurs since 2014

While Tottenham continue to wait for their first trophy since 2008, several of their former players have found success elsewhere. 

Over 100 trophies have been won by former Spurs players over the last 15 years, with Luka Modric and Gareth Bale responsible for 37 of those.

We’ve taken a look at the 12 players to have left Tottenham since January 2014 and gone on to win silverware in one of Europe’s top-flight leagues. Note: we’ve only included players who made first-team appearances for Spurs.

The former Marseille midfielder only lasted a season there too before joining Bundesliga side Schalke in the summer of 2016. 

He did at least win the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue and two Trophees des Champions during his time in Paris, averaging a trophy every eight appearances for PSG. 

Christian Eriksen

Having spent six-and-a-half trophyless years at Tottenham, Eriksen sought a new challenge away from the club and joined Inter Milan in January 2020. 

“There’s a big chance of winning a trophy here or a bigger chance than where I was of course,” Eriksen told Sky in Italy after completing his move to Inter.

He played his role in Inter ending Juventus’ nine-year stranglehold on the Serie A title….
