IS this the best job in the world?

We think so. Sam Morgan, 17, has become the go-to personal shopper for the Premier League's biggest names thanks to his business venture, SM creps.

England ace Dele Alli talks about his barnet as he prepares to face Spain and Switzerland

The London-born entrepreneur manages to find hard-to-get clothes and trainers from the likes of Balenciaga, Fear of God, Amiri and Gucci through a network of sources, then sells them on to football's elite.

Arsenal fan Morgan - who has just finished A-Levels in maths, economics and psychology - has managed to build up an impressive client list of international footballers because of his unique talents.

And he is getting even more customers by playing Fortnite with them.

Paul Pogba, Mesut Ozil, Kevin De Bruyne, Benjamin Mendy are just some of his customers.

But it began with reserve Gooner Cohen Brammall, who followed him on Instagram, where Morgan initially created his idea.

Spotting an opportunity, Morgan sent a message to Brammall asking him if he was interested in buying any clothes.

From there on in, Brammall introduced him to Chris and Joe Willock, who in-turn introduced him to more players.

A snowball effect began to take place and SM creps was spread by word of mouth in the football community.

"To be honest, I've always been selling," he told .

"When I was in Year 7, I'd come home with three or four pounds - and it's the same now but on a much bigger scale.

"I sold to Cohen Brammall first and Cohen Brammall knows Joe Willock, who knows Chris Willock because they're brothers.

"From Chris Willock I got Reiss (Nelson). One of them was friends with Ezri Konza.

"He introduced me to Kyle Walker-Peters and that was my breakthrough."

Morgan is thankful to Walker-Peters for helping him progress his business and introduce him to his Spurs teammates.

"On the way back from Real Madrid against Tottenham, I got a call from Kyle saying he's with Heu Ming Son who wants a couple of Gucci pieces.

"Those items were sold out everywhere, but within two days I got it for him and gave it to Heu Ming Son at the training ground.

"From Kyle I got lots of Spurs players, Heu Ming Son, Harry Winks and ultimately Dele Alli.

"Dele Alli introduced me to multiple England people. It just went from one to player to another player, and as long as you provide a good service you're set."

And it's not just England's finest that Morgan is kitting out, he also works with world champions.

Days before the World Cup final, the fashion seller received a FaceTime call from Paul Pogba, who was recommended to Sam by Benjamin Mendy, another SM creps client.

Morgan even posed for a dab with the Man United star in his hotel room in Paris.

He explained: "Two days before the World Cup final, I got a FaceTime from Paul Pogba, who I'd never spoken to before, who was on Benjamin Mendy's phone.

"He was saying, 'are you the plug?' I was like, 'yeah,' and he said 'you're the one Benji's been telling me about, I've been trying to connect with you for a long time.

"I was sitting there thinking, I should be the one who's connecting to you, not you trying to connect to me.

"Two days after the World Cup final I got the Eurostar to Paris, he bought multiple Gucci jackets, multiple vintage glasses.

"I got off the train, went straight to the team hotel where everyone was staying the night before because they were with the President.

"I just rocked up there, delivered everything to Paul and just chilled."

Many of the stars come to his parents' home in London to pick up their clobber, and a pose for a photograph on the stairs.

He did have to put the business on hold however for his exams.

"It's pretty hard to ignore texts from Premier League footballers while you are revising,”

“And it's difficult not to let the business stuff take over because it is going well and it is important.

“But sometimes the schoolwork does have to take priority.

“I move my phone away from me during revision so that I can't be distracted."

Another sharp dresser, known for his style, is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Arsenal striker is another favourite client of Morgan's thanks to Alexandre Lacazette.

SM creps began following Aubameyang on Instagram and around an hour later messaged the Gabon hotshot offering his services.

"I got Aubameyang as a client because as he was leaving training with Alexandre Lacazette, Alex told Auba about me because he saw him wearing some clothes and asked him, 'where'd you get that?'

"I got Auba's number, sent him some clothes over WhatsApp, then a couple of days later I was with him."

Mesut Ozil is a renowned fashionista, always looking to dress the part.

And the silky playmaker required Morgan's expertise the day he was signing his new bumper contract with Arsenal.

"Mesut Ozil bought off me about a year ago,"Morgan explained.

"The day Ozil signed his contract under Arsene Wenger, he was wearing the Off-White piece I had sold to him that was one of 30 made in the world.

"And that's when I was buzzing. Mesut Ozil is wearing my item.

Morgan is still at school, studying economics, psychology and maths and just finished AS level.

The teenager can't drive yet and often has to take Uber everywhere because he prefers to drop off his goods in person.

Players also regularly pick up items from his home, posing by the stairs of his house.

And bizarrely, playing online game Fortnite has meant he has expanded his client list further.

"Playing Fortnite is crazy because it's got me so many more clients," he revealed.

"If I'm playing with one player, another player can join. So, Erik Lamela could join in, then Sergio Aguero joins, Javier Pastore joins and before you know it another player.

"I've played with Harry Kane, Jordan Pickford... all these players have become clients from playing Fortnite.

"For example, I was playing Fortnite with Kevin De Bruyne and before I knew it he was asking for a couple of bits. I was with him two days later."

With clients spending as much as £22,000 at one time, Morgan is laughing all the way to the bank thanks to clever distributor deals that he's able to score a hefty profit on sales.

Dream Team imagines if Premier League footballers were farts… what type would your favourite player be?

He told : " I know that these people don't let many people into their lives, so I feel very fortunate that so many of them trust me and like buying from me.

"Some are asking now if I can recommend them items to suit their style.

"I have got to know some of the players well enough that we are now friends. One of the Arsenal players even took me to lunch on my birthday. I don't really look at them as stars anymore.

"My friends at school didn't really think this was a thing when I started out, but I stuck at it. I have invested a lot of time in this, and most people that know me realise that."
