Nike release limited-edition Paris St Germain 'fan' jerseys

In a summer filled with blockbuster transfers, PSG's capture of Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi perhaps topped the lot.

The one time 'one club man' made the switch, aged 34, on August 10.

He made his 19 days later coming on as a substitute in a 2-0 victory over Reims.

The signing of one of, if not the , greatest footballer of all time is sure to do one thing on top of improving their performance on the pitch - raise the profile of a side seemingly hell-bent on becoming the world's best.

Messi took up the rather unfashionable #30 shirt, but that won't stop avid football fanatics from his sporting his name across their back.

It won't be the first time Paris St Germain's colours will be sported in far-flung corners of the world, either.

'PSG' has become as much a fashion brand as it has become a leading a footballing institution.

Celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio, Mick Jagger, Beyonce and Jay Z have been previously spotted in the VIP section of the Parces des Princes.

The collaboration with the Air Jordan brand further elevated PSG's status as one of the trendiest clubs in world sport, with their merchandise seen sported by the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kendal Jenner and Rhianna.

PSG's manufacturers Nike are well aware of the popularity. The newly launched 'fan tops' are the latest in a long list of special edition 'exclusives'.

The 'fan tops' are designed with simplicity and minimalism in mind, with prices starting at £40 here on Kitbag.

Pre-orders have opened now on the fan tops, with deliveries expected from around mid-October.
