In
his short time in England, the Gunners’ £42m record signing has dwarfed every
other player in England when it comes to shirts sold. Ozil has started the
season brilliantly, providing three league assists already and scoring a
beautiful Champions League goal against Napoli.
2) Robin Van Persie –
Manchester United
The
consecutive Premier League Golden Boot winner recently broke the all-time goal
scoring record for the Dutch national team, and will be crucial to David Moyes’
chances of winning a maiden domestic title.
3) Wayne Rooney – Manchester
united
Despite
the rumours surrounding Rooney’s Old Trafford future, only two Premier league
players have sold more shirts than the England hitman, who has scored three
goals from direct freekicks so far this season.
4) Sergio Aguero – Manchester
City
The
Argentine forward who brilliantly won City the Premier League title in 2012
with a last minute winner, is back to his best this season – helping put the
sword to Manchester United in a 4-1 thrashing at the Etihad.
5) Fernando Torres – Chelsea
Chelsea’s
Spanish striker has yet to score this season in the league, and has endured a
fairly unsuccessful time at Stamford Bridge since his £50m move from Liverpool
back in 2010. However, he still sells more shirts than the likes of Frank
Lampard, John Terry and Juan Mata!
6) Shinji Kagawa – Manchester
United
United’s
Japanese playmaker has an enormous fan base in the Far East, many of which are
dismayed that new boss David Moyes seemingly doesn’t rate the talented creator.
Could move back to Borussia Dortmund in January.
7) Eden Hazard – Chelsea
Chelsea’s
flying Belgian winger is a brilliant dribbler, and causes any defence countless
problems when he’s running at them. Also capable of cutting in and delivering
thunderbolt shots with his right boot.
8) Luis Suarez – Liverpool
The
brilliant Uruguayan would probably be higher on this list if it wasn’t for the
fact that no Liverpool fan was certain he’d stay during the summer. The striker
did remain at Anfield however, and has bagged three goals in two games since
returning from suspension.
9) Jack Wilshere – Arsenal
Wilshere
can’t stay out of the media at the moment; whether he’s playing badly, being
caught smoking, making nationalistic remarks in the press, or weeing up trees
during England training sessions! Pure box office!
10) Santi Cazorla – Arsenal
The
diminutive Spaniard is yet to make a Premier League appearance this season
because of injury, but he was so impressive during his debut term he makes this
year’s top 10 shirt sellers list. Possesses a beautiful touch, and is about as
two-footed as any footballer in Europe.
