Who has won consecutive titles with different teams in the same country?

“Thinking about Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, which footballers – aside from Eric Cantona – have won successive top-tier league titles with two different clubs from the same country?” tweets @AFC_Gooner10.

Arsenal face Manchester City at the Emirates, with the chance to open up a six-point lead – with a game in hand – at the top. If they do win the Premier League title, it will be partly down to the decision to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal in the summer. And what’s interesting about this question is not so much how often it has happened, but how often great or very good players were able to join a rival without anyone throwing a pig’s head.

Not that such transfers are entirely without rancour. One of the most famous examples, as mentioned in the question, was Eric Cantona’s move from Leeds to Manchester United in November 1992. While Cantona’s role in Leeds’ title-winning campaign is overplayed – he was a sub most of the time – he was the catalyst for United’s early dominance of the Premier League.

Another Frenchman, N’Golo Kanté, won the title with Leicester in 2015-16 and Chelsea in 2016-17. Mark Schwarzer, by then a backup goalkeeper, beat Kanté to the punch. In training, anyway. Technically he won the league with Chelsea in 2014-15 and Leicester in 2015-16, though he didn’t play in either campaign. All his appearances for Leicester came during the second half of the 2014-15 season, after he moved on a free from Chelsea.

While those transfers were relatively amicable, the same couldn’t be said of Johan Cruyff’s move from Ajax to Feyenoord. He won the double with Ajax in 1982-83, at the age of 36, but then left after a dispute over wages and much else besides. He didn’t just leave, he
