Who is Newcastle United's top shirt seller? Here are the five most popular players since January

These are Newcastle United’s top shirt sellers since January, according to the club.

We asked the club which players had the most requests for named shirts and through the club shop they provided us with the top five names based on interest since the turn of the year.

The video we have created at the top of this article gives you the top five, with the reasons why they’ve proved so popular among Newcastle fans.

While there probably aren’t too many surprises that the top five are all recent signings of established Rafa Benitez favourites, it goes to show the commercial benefits that come with spending money in the transfer market.

United are one of the bigger shirt sellers in the Premier League, with Sporting Intelligence claiming they sold close to 100,000 jerseys globally every year. That would put them firmly in the top 10, although Manchester United sell around 1.75million around the world every year.

Kits remain a popular topic of conversation on Tyneside.

Pictures leaked on social media over the weekend First pictures of Newcastle United's bold new home kit for 2019/20 emerge, and the leaks look genuine and fans were divided on whether the design was a good one or not. Images that leaked in February depicted the home, away and third kits for the 2019/20 season – the last of the current five-year Puma deal.
