A total of 23 players who were playing their football at Arsenal for at least three seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 were playing in Europe’s "top five" leagues in 2019/20.
That's according to a new study conducted by CIES Football Observatory, which has the Gunners at 10th in the list.
Some prime examples of players included on this list is Bayern Munich star Serge Gnabry, who was at the Emirates Stadium from 2012-2016.
Another instance is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is now with Liverpool - helping the Reds win the Premier League title last season.
When it comes to "club-trained" players, Manchester United (24) have the most in the Premier League, with Arsenal (23) in second-place.
However, when the amount of game time and the level of competition involved are taken into consideration, Chelsea come out on top.
The Blues' club-trained players played an average of 17.1 games each, compared to 16.0 for Manchester United, 13.7 for Arsenal and 16.9 for Manchester City.
In terms of level, Chelsea’s players were at an average of 1.4, in comparison to 1.7 for United, 1.6 for the Gunners, and 1.6 for City.
It means the Football Observatory analysis gives the west London-based club a weighted score of 43.9, which puts them ahead of Manchester United (41.8), Arsenal (36.4), Manchester City (34.1) and Liverpool (29.4).
Real Madrid has the best weighted score in Europe at 69.1, followed by Barcelona (62.1), Valencia (48.7), Real Sociedad (47.7), Athletic Bilbao (47.7), Lyon (47.4), Chelsea (43.9), Atletico Madrid (42.7),and Manchester United (41.8).
Manchester United have consistently had more club-trained players in the top five leagues - the top flights of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - than any other English club over the last five seasons.
In 2019/20, United topped the list with 24 club trained players ahead of Arsenal with 23, Chelsea with 20, Manchester City with 16, Southampton with 15, Tottenham with 13 and Liverpool with 11.
United also topped the list in 2018/19 with 28 club trained players putting them ahead of Chelsea (23), Arsenal (20), Tottenham (17), Southampton (15), and Manchester City (12). Figures aren’t available for Liverpool that year.
In 2017/18, Manchester United were again top of the list of English clubs with 24 club trained players. Arsenal were second with 17, Tottenham third with 15, Manchester City fourth with 15, and Liverpool and Chelsea were joint fifth on 12.
It was a similar story in 2016/17 - Manchester United (28), Arsenal 921), Chelsea (17), Tottenham (15), Manchester City (14), Liverpool (12) - and in 2015/16 - Manchester United (34), Arsenal (22), Tottenham (17), Chelsea (13), Southampton (13), Manchester City (12) - and 2014/15 - Manchester United (31), Arsenal (20).
With former Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker now in charge of the Gunners' academy, Mikel Arteta will be hoping that the German can continue the club's stream of young players into the first team, with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Joe Willock, Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe all progressing through the set-up.
