As our recent Red Card report has shown, the number 1 reason for Chinese football fans to follow a team is due to the presence of star players. 40% of fans say they chose to support a team because it included their favorite player.

This was recognized by Tottenham early on, and implemented by launching Gareth Bale’s social media accounts in the country. The young player’s online followers have grown rapidly since launch and show no signs of slowing.

The team’s recent acquisition of Brazilian international midfielder Paulinho can only mean Spurs popularity will continue to rise in the build up to the Brazil World Cup next summer.
