She is also among the highest-paid female players, reportedly earning around £200,000 a year playing for Barcelona, has over 100 England caps and has scored 12 goals for her country. This tournament will be her third World Cup.
Lauren James, in fourth place, is shown to have one of the highest engagement rate of 13.2%, which potentially makes £3,300 per sponsored post. In last place for the top ten is England captain Millie Bright, who can earn a potential £2,200 per sponsored post.
Bright played a pivotal part in England’s defence at last year’s Euros, where the Lionesses conceded just one goal throughout the tournament. Millie will be captaining England at the Women’s World Cup this year, due to former captain Leah Williamson sustaining an injury.
The Lionesses will continue their World Cup journey on Saturday against Colombia after Monday's tense round of 16 penalty shoot out win against Nigeria.
