Both enemies and friends! In the past seven years, it has spent 140 million pounds to introduce 6 players, and this team has become the next player in the Blues!

As two of the Premier League Big6, Arsenal and Chelsea are in London together, the two teams have been in direct competitive relationship for a long time. Which team can suppress their opponents with championships and points in the season will be regarded as the boss of London. The battle between "madman" Mourinho and "professor" Wenger back then was rumored to be an eternal classic. However, although the competition continues to be on the court, the relationship between the two teams is pretty good. In the past seven years, Arsenal has introduced 6 players from Chelsea, spending a total of 140 million pounds, which can be said to be one of the designated next players of Blues players. Recently, it was also rumored that the Blues' Maduaike was basically confirmed to transfer to the Gunners, with the cost of about 60 million euros. Let's take a look at who the six players before Maduaike were and how their performances were!

1. David Luis transfer fee: 8.7 million euros

Transfer time: 19-20 season

First of all, the Brazilian team's leading defender, David Luis, who had the ability to shoot a long shot, maintained a good condition in the 18-19 season, playing in a total of 49 games, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists. He is a veritable guard with a knife, helping Chelsea win the UEFA Cup championship that season. However, considering that he is 32 years old and his condition has begun to decline, he was sent to Arsenal and only received a transfer fee of 8.7 million euros. After joining the Gunners, although he only played for less than 2 seasons, Louis still scored 4 goals, giving the team enough protection in the backcourt. Although he failed to help the team go further, he still won one FA Cup championship and one community shield championship. Finally, Louis announced his departure in the winter window of 2021 and returned to Flamenco, Brazil. Overall, Luis has won the championship titles at Arsenal and Chelsea, and has made a lot of contributions.

2. William

Transfer fee: Free transfer

Transfer time: 20-21 season

Blue fans will never forget William, this striker, who also comes from Brazil, has played for many years at Chelsea. Although the data is not that explosive, his personal ability is quite good, with skillful dribbling and excellent shooting ability, and his personal sprint and explosion ability are also quite good. In the 19-20 season, his last season with the team, he still contributed 11 goals and 8 assists. However, as the Blues' strength declined and he was already 32 years old, William left the Blues and joined Arsenal freely. However, it is disappointing that although William was reused at first, his overall performance was not comparable to that of the Blues. As a result, he gradually faded out of the main lineup in the middle of the season, and eventually contributed only 1 goal and 7 assists throughout the season. After the season, William also left the Premier League and returned to Corinthian in the Brazil League. Moreover, during his short period of playing time, he failed to help Arsenal get any honors. Compared with the glory of Chelsea, his career at Arsenal has indeed not been turbulent.

3. Jorginho's transfer fee: 11.3 million euros

Transfer time: 22-23 season

In the winter window of the 22-23 season, there was a deal between Arsenal and Chelsea, which was to send 2021's best player Jorginho to Arsenal in exchange for a transfer fee of 11.3 million euros. Although many fans' biggest impression of Jorginho is probably a key penalty penalty, which has led to the Italian national team missing the 2022 World Cup. But in fact, Jorginho performed quite well in those years. Chelsea was able to win the 2021 Champions League championship without being optimistic, and Italy's European Cup again in 2021 are inseparable from Jorginho's help. However, when joining Arsenal, Jorginho's form has begun to decline. In more than two years, he has made 79 appearances for Arsenal, but he has only contributed 2 goals and 3 assists in total, and has not won any honors. Now, he has also gone to Brazil and became a member of the giant Flamenco. Not long ago, he also represented Flamenco in the Club World Cup.

4.Kai Havertz transfer fee: 75 million euros

Transfer time: 23-24 season

The evaluation of Havertz was completely mixed at the time. Some fans believed that Havertz was one of Chelsea's legends. After all, shortly after joining, he helped the Blues win the 2021 Champions League championship. However, some fans believe that Havertz's career in the Blues opened high and ended low, and was completely out of the system in the later stage, and was a parallel product. But no matter what, Arsenal still took a fancy to Havertz and paid a transfer fee of 75 million euros in order to get him in the 23-24 season. It has to be sighed that Arteta does have coaching ability. Although Havertz was not in good shape in the early stages of the transfer, Arteta successfully transformed him into a center, and the result was that Havertz became one of the team's main scorers. First, he scored 14 goals and gave 7 assists in the 23-24 season, and then he was injured this season and played in a total of only 36 games, continuing his outstanding form, scoring 15 goals and 4 assists. Although he has not helped the team win honors yet, Havertz's performance at Arsenal is still quite good overall.

5. Raheem Sterling

Transfer fee: Join on loan

Transfer time: 24-25 season

Then there is the former British Star, Sterling, who is highly expected by fans, fans familiar with Sterling know that he can be called the world's top, regardless of speed or dribbling ability, but the helplessness is that his shooting ability is indeed too poor. During Manchester City's period, he scored a lot of goals, and had explosive data of 30 goals, 5 assists, 26 goals and 15 assists in a single season, but he was still sent away by the team in the summer of 2023. When he came to Chelsea, his form continued to decline. He only scored 19 goals in two seasons and gave 12 assists. Therefore, Chelsea was also a little disheartened by him and loaned him to Arsenal last summer. At Arsenal, his condition has even declined to a trough. It is hard to believe that a 30-year-old striker who is in his playing age actually scored only one goal in a season, so Arsenal had no intention of continuing to cooperate with him not long ago, and is now sent back to Chelsea.

6. Kepa transfer fee: 5.82 million euros

Transfer time: 25-26 season

Finally, it was a recent deal. 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Kepa transferred from Chelsea to Arsenal for 5.82 million euros. Although most fans still have the impression of Kepa in the League Cup final that year, when the then Blues coach Sarri wanted to replace Kepa, Kepa refused to end. But it has to be said that Kepa's performance later was still satisfactory. He was conscientious in both the Blues and on loan to Real Madrid. He also contributed 25 attacks and 105 saves at Bournemouth this season. During this period, he won the Champions League championship with the Blues and Real Madrid, and also won the La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and other championships. Joining Arsenal this time has also increased the team's goalkeeper's lineup to a certain extent. However, because of David Raya, Kepa is likely to get more appearances in the Cup.
