Josef Martinez hasn’t delivered his traditional traditional breathtaking statistics with Atlanta United this season, but the Venezuelan star did rank first in jersey sales among MLS players.
Martinez edged out Seattle Sounders forward Raul Ruidiaz and LAFC attacker Carlos Vela for the No. 1 spot in the list. It’s the first time Martinez has reached the No. 1 spot after being in the top five in each of the past four years.
The Sounders have four players in the top ten for MLS jersey sales while the LA Galaxy have three and the Five Stripes have two. Austin FC has three players ranked in the Top 25, an incredible feat for the first-year MLS franchise.
