#6 Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez and his fondness for his dogs recently came into the public eye when Arsenal unveiled two new banners ahead of their fixture against Burnley this season honouring the Chilean and his two dogs Atom and Humber. While his love for his dogs may have been news to many, anyone who has been following him on Instagram knows its nothing new. His profile is primarily an ode to his beloved pets, two adorable golden retrievers with a smattering of images from his time with Arsenal and Chile.
Follow the dynamic attacker’s account to share in his love of dogs and animals alike and don’t miss out on the video of him taking a walk with Atom and Humber to a Phil Collins song. There’s even a picture of his boots with the names of the dogs stitched in!
#5 Mario Balotelli
The ever-controversial Mario Balotelli is definitely one of the best football stars to follow on Instagram. The Italian is as interesting on the field as he is off it. Barring the usual promotional images for Puma, his account combines a mixture of private escapades and team-related imagery.
The Nice forward is not averse to the occasional throwback as he recently uploaded a picture of himself in the infamous ‘Why always me?’ shirt.
Balotelli also enjoys a healthy fascination for memes uploading any that catches his fancy and an inclination to dabble in the ‘filter’ arts.
