Netherlands forward Xavi Simons may only be 21, but for many football fans he's been a noticeable player for the better part of a decade - largely thanks to his social media presence as a viral internet sensation.
At just 14-years-old, Simons had racked up one million followers on Instagram, with a dedicated social media team looking after his account so that he could focus on his football. The Dutchman amassed those followers from the age of seven, when he signed for Barcelona's La Masia academy.
