However, despite the top talents on display, a surprise name has emerged as the biggest shirt seller out of the league.

The 23-year-old currently stars for Atlanta United, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed amongst his legion of followers.

The Venezuelan striker, 24, has been in hot form alongside Almiron for Atlanta and that has led to fans snapping-up his jersey like hot cakes.

Despite their failure to qualify for next year's World Cup, footy fans in the States still seem to be in love with forward Jordan Morris.

The hotshot, who has been capped 24 times for the Stars and Stripes, comes in at fourth on the list ahead of New York City's Spanish legend David Villa.

Amazingly, despite his exploits for Brazil and illustrious career for Madrid and Milan in Europe, Orlando City's Kaka only comes in as eighth best-seller when it comes to shirts.
