According to recent stats, Arsenal are the most popular Premier League team on twitter. They are neck and neck with London rivals, Chelsea who fall 100k followers short of leveling with the Gunners. With 3,411,208 registered accounts reading tweets posted by the North London club, Wenger’s side is now fourth when it comes to European football teams. Barcelona and Real are leaders with almost three times as many people reading their posts. Galatasaray is third with a number very similar to that of Arsenal.

Although these statistics may seem irrelevant to some, it is safe to say they are a pretty accurate representation of how popular teams really are. With exposure all across the world, being the fourth European football team in terms of Twitter followers says a lot about Arsenal who managed to get more followers than City and United put together.

Statistics like these also point to the fact that Arsenal know a thing or two about keeping up with the times. Their online social media presence is proven by numbers, the strongest in the Premier League.
