Figures that outline the number of Tweets in America about English football clubs have been tweeted today by social media strategist Tim Treacy, and the results are slightly surprising…

Here are the six most ‘mentioned’ Premier League clubs in 2014, with English champions Manchester City missing out.

6) Tottenham

Spurs have a large American following, especially in Alabama, oddly enough. In recent years, USA stars such as Clint Dempsey and Brad Friedel have turned out for Tottenham, as will DeAndre Yedlin soon – set to join in January.

5) Newcastle United

In at a surprising fifth are the Magpies. More Newcastle related tweets have been sent in America than ones relating to Manchester City or Everton!

4) Arsenal

The Gunners sit in their favoured fourth spot in this list! In recent transfer windows they’ve changed their spending policy, bringing in renowned superstars like Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, which manager Arsene Wenger hopes will eventually earn his team a first title in a decade.

3) Chelsea

Chelsea have become an increasingly global force since Roman Abramovich bought them a decade ago, injecting a wealth of cash which has helped the Blues win countless trophies.

2) Manchester United

In at 2nd are Manchester United, who most would have expected to be way out at the front of this list. The Red Devils are owned by billionaire American family the Glazers, but have struggled on-field since the departure of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

1) Liverpool

According to these figures, Liverpool are the most tweeted about top flight in America. This might have something to do with US owners FSG, who also own the Boston Red Sox.
