After Man City managed to reel in Arsenal they clinched the Premier League title for a third successive year.

Cancelo appeared in 17 Premier League games before his January exit which qualifies him for a medal as he has passed the threshold of five.

After swapping Manchester for Munich, Cancelo played in 15 Bundesliga games which is thought to qualify him for a medal there too.

Bayern had not been the dominant force in German football for most of this season.

But under Thomas Tuchel, the Bavarians managed to clinch the title after a dramatic final day.

Borussia Dortmund were ahead going into the final fixture, but could only draw, meaning Bayern’s win saw them win the league.

Cancelo’s achievement is incredible, but he isn’t be the first Premier League star to do it.

Daniel Amartey completed the feat in the 2015-16 season as he won the Danish Superliga with FC Copenhagen and the Premier League with Leicester City.

The midfielder played 15 times for the Danish side before his January move to the Foxes, where he made five appearances in the league to secure his medal and his own part of the club’s underdog story.

He flew back to Denmark after winning the Premier League to collect his medal and celebrate with his former team-mates.

Goncalo Guedes almost completed the feat when he joined PSG in 2017 from Benfica.

His former side went on to win the Portuguese league, but PSG were pipped to the Ligue 1 title by Monaco.

Kingsley Coman has a claim to be in the club as he won the Bundesliga title in 2015-16 after starting the season at Serie A side Juventus.

The Italian giants won the league that season, but Coman only played in one game and therefore would not have qualified for a medal.

David Beckham would also have a shout to be in the group as he won the MLS Cup and the Ligue 1 title with PSG during his stint in the 2012/13 season.

Cancelo’s time at Bayern appears to be at an end as the club are not expected to exercise their option to buy him this summer.

This has opened the door to Arsenal, with the club reportedly keen to add the defender to their roster of former Manchester City players.
