Social networking service, Twitter, has become an integral part of our daily lives – significantly transcending into the beautiful game of football.
No wonder fans take to this platform to discuss their club’s summer transfer rumours and completed deals.
Expectedly, Manchester United two heavyweight signings, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, tops the list of most tweeted deals.
Pogba returned to Old Trafford for a world record £100million while celebrity footballer, Ibrahimovic, joined from Paris Saint-Germain.
Shockingly, three Arsenal deals which never happened made it to the top 10 – they include Jamie Vardy (3rd), Gonzalo Higuaín (6th) and Riyad Mahrez (7th).
So also did the Gunners three major signings – Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia (5th), Granit Xhaka from Monchengladbach (9th) and Lucas Perez from Deportivo (10th).
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s switch from Borussia Dortmund to United (4th) made the cut as well as N’Golo Kante’s deal from Leicester City to Chelsea (8th).
