Lionel Messi has generated a revolution since his arrival in soccer in the United States. His impact was felt both on and off the field, with thousands of fans willing to do anything to see him in action and also to buy his shirt.

In just a handful of months, the Argentine already leads the ranking of shirts sold in Major League Soccer, something that is not too surprising. The interesting thing about the list shared by the league is that the next player is the Brazilian João Klauss, who is enjoying a spectacular present with St. Louis City SC.

The native of Criciúma, Santa Catarina, is one of the main reasons why his team leads the Western Conference with 56 points: the forward has 10 goals in 17 games in his first season in MLS. Trained in the Internacional youth team, Klauss wore the colors of Gremio and São José before leaving for European football. On the Old Continent, he represented Austria’s LASK, Standard Liege in Belgium and Germany’s Hoffenheim, among others.

Now, he is the St. Louis figure who dreams of the title and his shirt was in greater demand than that of figures like Carlos Vela, Xherdan Shaqiri or Chicharito Hernández, among others.
