England football fan and social media guru, Tom Hilton, said:

"I'm not surprised to see Marcus Rashford at the top of the list as he's so active on social media and has been in the public eye for his off the field activities, whereas the likes of Nick Pope rarely dabble online.

"It's no surprise to see players from the 'big seven' feature heavily in the list, although with the World Cup in progress we may well see new heroes emerge and players like Jude Bellingham climb the list.

"It may seem like a substantial amount of money, and it is to the average person, but many of these players are earning upwards of £10m per year from salary alone."
