He is pipped by Aston Villa‘s World Cup winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who has 13.4 million followers.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has established himself as one of the best defenders in the division in recent seasons but is the second highest ranked defender in the list with 15 million followers.

Kicking off the top ten is Man City’s own World Cup winner Julian Alvarez, who has 15.3 million followers.

Man Utd star Marcus Rashford, who has used his platform to promote good causes in the past has 16.9 million followers on Instagram.

There is then a big leap in followers to team-mate Casemiro, who has 22.3 million followers likely as part of his legacy at Real Madrid and with the Brazil national team.

Compatriot and Chelsea defender Thiago Silva ranks in seventh with 22.3 million followers – showing it helps coming from such a populous country.

Though he is surprisingly eclipsed by another Brazilian for sixth place in the list, that being Tottenham star Richarlison who has 22.7 million followers.

The striker regularly shares snaps of himself topless, showing off his tattoos.

Another Man Utd player and Real Madrid legacy man Raphael Varane then comes in at fifth place with 23.1 million followers.

Arsenal and ex-Man City forward Gabriel Jesus starts the top four with 23.2 million followers.

The top three are then comprised of three of the Premier League’s best stars: Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah.

Belgian playmaker De Bruyne only just makes the top three with his 24.6 million followers.

Pics with other famous faces are KdB’s forte – with selfies alongside Drake and the original Ronaldo among his most liked posts.

However, there is no doubt about the top two’s place in the table.

Last season’s record goalscorer Haaland has a staggering 37.2 million followers.

His Insta game is pretty boring, mostly focusing on football. Although he did share some snaps of himself in designer pyjamas which were lapped up by fans.

The winner by a long way is Egyptian king Salah, with the Liverpool ace being followed by 63.2 million people.

The Liverpool star has a habit of sending his followers into meltdown whenever he goes on holiday by posting images of his outrageously toned body.

The king of six packs as well as Instagram it seems.
