The most followed footballers on Twitter

Cesc Fabregas (Spain/Barcelona – 5.8 million followers) [@cesc4official]

The boy who joined Arsenal from Barca, became captain and grew into one of the best midfielders in the world, moved back to the Catalan giants in 2011. He may not be the main man there, like he was at Arsenal, but still continues to come up with crucial goals and assists for his club side as well as the Spanish national team.

Under new coach ‘Tata’ Martino, Fabregas is seeing more playing time and like his assists his tweets too never stop coming. Always around and engaging, he tweets post match, before the match and even general messages to friends and family.
