Arsenal Serge GnabryThe Gunners sold the midfielder to Werder Bremen for just 5million in 2016 because he found first-team opportunities limited.Bayern Munich signed him just a year later and he has gone on to be one of their best players this season as they won the Bundesliga.

Bournemouth Matt RitchieThe Cherries sold Ritchie to Newcastle in 2016 for around 10million as he dropped back down to the Championship.He won promotion back to the Premier League with the Magpies and has gone on to be one of their key players.This season he has found himself at left-back because of injuries and performed well.

Chelsea Mohamed SalahTake your pick with the players Chelsea who have gone on to thrive after being sold by the Blues.The one who has made the most impact over the last two seasons is Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

Crystal Palace Glenn MurrayHe may be 35-years-old but Murray has shown he can still score goals in the Premier League.The striker struggled in the top flight with Palace as he managed just eight Premier League goals in 33 games.
