The story in brief
7-second readAn Arsenal player has never won the Ballon d'Or, but they've come close. Here are 14 times an Arsenal player finished in the top 10.
From the source
No Arsenal player has ever won the Ballon d'Or, which is quite remarkable considering their rich history of players and iconic achievements. That said, Arsenal have not been successful in Europe, which may have prevented their players from winning the prestigious annual award.
However, there have been many times when Arsenal players have come agonisingly close to winning the Premier League. In fact, on 14 separate occasions, Arsenal had representation within the top 10.
Here are the 14 times an Arsenal player made the top 10 cut. Despite being shown a red card in the 2006 Champions League final, legendary Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was recognised for finishing 10th in the 2006 Ballon d'Or.
